words are pointless

words

swords

doors

doers

roads

all of them seem distant, like a yeild sign from 800 miles ago
the wind in my face the only valid reality
memories are not reliable witnesses
the god of music never speaks
like a child he only plays

rebellion and dignity

Rebellion in children is unavoidable.

You must leave room for the end of the rebellion. In order to have a healthy relationship in the future, teen rebellion must be allowed to die with dignity.

Parents must prepare for defeat in the end, and not fight for control at the expense of the childs dignity.
