    CAN'T

    The one thing I despise about adults
    is their inability to tell you what you can do.
    They’re so quick to put the C A N ' T together
    but never can show you the way to what you CAN do.

    You CAN'T do this
    I don't feel you’re able to do that.
    You're just not ready for so and so.

    I wonder if they don't get sick of those words
    like a bad song that plays too much on the radio
    those double negatives in your statements my dear adults;
    you really need to know you're so played out!

    I'm not going to write this poem to rebel against them all
    but, to prove a point to all the adults
    we can do more than you can think about.

    Here's something you need to hear
    about those children you have here.
    They are more than you can believe
    they are the world that you can’t see
    they are the life you want to live again.

    Big dream for small thinker I think its how it goes.
    This is a new time
    nothing like when you were younger.
    A time where if you don't think big
    you're already there.

    The tall men in the suit made it without a degree
    and we can all agree that's not fair.
    But if you look close enough
    you will see you have your own genius right here.

    With the artist mind
    and the number we see jumping in the air 
    so why do you keep say you CAN'T do this
    without a paper to tell you that you’re getting there.

    If a smart man knows everything
    what does a dumb man with life experience know?
    He knows the meaning of life.

    I will love to continue on
    the thing is thou
    if it wasn't for the constant CAN'T
    how else will we strive to prove you wrong?

    I feel your frustration. Usually it's about taking the safest way out. The first thing that comes to a parent's or guardian's mind is all the things that go wrong, so the safest course is just to shut down any worrisome projects, altogether. I'm not saying it's right, or the best way to go, but it's understandable. You've composed a very well thought-out and literate case. Good job!

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
