They say they know me,
they say they really do,
but if you understand me
and know wat i go through

youd lighten up and take a break
not worry so much that my life was at stake
you'd give me the room to see it through
and stand back when im not ready to move
youd let me be myself
a teenager in start
and not be so paranoid,
for i am smart

you'd not yell when i mess up
but realize that i try,
youd smile for me when i feel like i could die,

you'd sit with me late at night,
when im to scared to move,
and not tell me
"im a big girl"
cuz even im no snooze

You see, i am still a kid at heart,
with bigger things to deal,
know that i am a smart kid,
i would never steal,

youd laugh w/ me at pranks
and cry at a torn heart,
smile at a job well done
not shake from the start,

you would realize ill change,
and not try to prevent it,
a hug for my first kiss,
not blowing a gasket!

you cant prevent me from growing up,
its something that must happen,
i know its hard to give me room
to let me make mistakes,
but by stopping me,
you only set me back,

i am for sure growing up
as you can plainly see
give me the room i really need
and i wont be such a rebel seed,

You may sit up and worry all night
about when im coming home,
but please understand
dont lock me in a dome

you need to trust me
know ill do wats right,
dont try to save me
or we'll end up in a fight

id tell you this is person
but it never seems to get across
im always just pushed away
like jesus on his cross

i keep so much locked inside
you really dont know me all that well
so now its my turn,
shut up and listen,
cuz only once ill tell

i will not follow in ur footsteps
so just let me be me
im growing up,
dont try to stop it,
please let me be free.



I didnt exactly mean for this poem to rhyme. i was just really pissed off
and wrote down what came to my head.
