You need to deal with a fact,

That I’m no longer a little kid,

I’m now a mature adult,

No longer in your control grid.

Choices are now my own to make,

Whether they’re good or bad to you,

I will be in control of my life,

I will choose what it is I shall do.

You wont listen to reason,

Refusing to consider my way,

Thinking that you know what’s best,

Believing I’ll always do what you say.

The tighter you try to hold on,

The further I’m pushed away from you,

And then whether you like it or not,

I wont ever do what you want me to.

I’ll soon leave this home,

And live my own way,

And because you wont let me grow up,

I’m looking forward to that day.
