Act your age not your shoe size

Act your age not your shoe size

Sometimes I wonder how it is that i have to be the one correcting you,
I'm the baby remember I'm not supposed to know better,you supposed to tell me what to do.
But as we go on day after day,it seems like our roles switch places in some way.
Because instead of you setting a proper example for me I'm left to figure out what is right in this reality.

Yeah our philosophy is not the same or our thoughts on axiology,epistemology and all that is there is not for us to see through the same eye or for us to understand,
But that doesn't mean that your maturity level has to go away to some foreign land,and leave me alone to think up the plans and wonder where my childhood has gone because to me, I never had one.

How is it that I'm not told what to do and when I do it wrong i look like a fool because you say its something I understand,but then again you didn't ask now did you?
To me because of your actions i'm growing up too fast,
And because of this my childhood is not being allowed to last,the thing that supposed to be the happiest moments of our lives,is not the same for me because i'm dressed up in a disguise and doing things ahead of my time because you fail to take up your roll and fall in line.

Lets face it,age is just a number in truth, because you're older than me and you act like you're two.
Sometimes because of this people my age seem to think that i feel i'm better than them because of my actions,but it isn't so,its just that if left up to you maturity is a no show and thats why i'm left telling others what to do and where to go.

How can it be that you cannot see, that your load had become lighter and mine own heavier?
You say you're teaching me responsibility,but is that really the case?
To me you're afraid of doing it yourself,because your maturity is packed away on some shelf, collecting dust and you don't want to clean it off,so you send me away to do what you're supposed to,thinking that it will never catch up with you?

Sorry to say but you're wrong on this one,and because you left me to mature and to think and understand,
I figure if I leave you alone,you would have no choice but to act your age and not your shoe size and i can finally take off this stupid disguise,that has everyone thinking that I know what I'm about,when actually you're the one who is in doubt of who you are and what you cane be in this thing we call reality.

So go find your maturity,take it off the shelf,dust it off,be of some help to me finally and take up your responsibility.
Yes I know it's not easy at first,but once you get the hang of it,the rest won't hurt,and your shoe size would just be your shoe size and not your maturity stage and you would finally be acting your age.
