Teen Angst

Teen Angst

Teenage angst is the result of realising your parents can be wrong,
            make mistakes,
                        aren't that special,
                                    and are just like everybody else.
Parental angst comes from realising your children realise this.

Teens start to see their parents in themselves,
            realising that they have gotten similar qualities,
                        and they hate it.

Parents start to see their kids in themselves,
            realising that they have given similar qualities,
                        and they hate it.

And teenage angst lasts forever,
            it's just angst,
                        parental angst;
                                    family angst.

Test the theory,

            try living with your parents - again.
