You told me to grow up

You looked me in the eyes, 

and told me to grow up.

I grew up when you asked me to pay bills, 

when you made me the middleman,

when you made me your therapist.

You always tell me to grow up,

but I grew up at 12. 

You made me grow up 

when I should have been worried about making friends,  

about cute boys, 

about having a hobby;

but I had more pressing responsibilities. 

You made me grow up before I should have,

and now have the audacity to tell me to grow up? 

I am grown.
