my experience and thoughts; parents still or friends?

Image via Wikipedia

sometimes i just think
where have those days gone
when parents used to take

me in their arms and care

as if nothing's more important,

all i get now is teachings
and lessons from them
without even a word as
to how are things going
on my side, as if i'm

expected to only learn

and never to react or
reach-out when pained

they ask me that
why dont i share,
but have they ever
thought about those
times when i had
brought to them
things which i was
excited and waiting
to share with them,
and all they had done
is pretrified and
turned-down with
their sense of
understanding and
'life' experiences,
as though final were
the ones they'd seen
or heard and never
ever could there be
a new thing to be seen.

did they ever think
how important it is
to be more of friends
than parents from
one point in time?
but i guess, such never
crossed their minds,
they are just happy
doing their 'duty' and
playing gud 'ol parents;
what a scarce, cause
such exactly plays
down the life of kids
who wish to share
but are unable to,
owing to their nature

it is said that once kid
begins wearing his
father's shoes, then the
father should be a friend
more than being father.
but i think verses and
sayings like these are
only preserved in books
cause never have i
made them happy with
any of my revelation;
all they have to say is
that your horroscope
as written matches till
date, and we are only
playing protective for you.
but will they ever
understand that all
a boy/girl wants is to
find parents at the
supportive end, rather
than the duty-playing-end,
all a grown-up ever want
is that parents should
share things as friends
and support even when
odds are against.

and i guess that is
the faith that most
lose in their parents'
by the time they
become one, and
the circle starts again.
i wish my whole
not to embark
upon the same when
i become a parent;
to be a gud and
supportive friend
is what i wish to be
for my child, as
and when that time
comes, so that
he/she may not
have to lose the
faith that i today
seem to have lost
