Dear mum and dad,

Dear mum and dad,
I’ve kept it silent all these years.
Hoping to make it one day.
I’m still holding onto that hope.

Dear mum and dad,
I want to have a proper education?
Why won’t you support me?
Why is it selfish to care about my future?
Why is it selfish to dream about my future?
Why is it selfish to have a future?

So why won’t you let me?
It’s all I ever wanted.
So I can get away from you.
