The Sidelines

I don't know my future
And that scared me to my core
Growing old doesn't scare me
It's the not knowing

I'm scared to fall in love
Because my mother would abandon me
And my family would follow her lead

If my future were up to me
I would live by myself far away

Oh how much I wish it were up to me

How I wish I could go to college
And get my dream job

How I wish I could be left alone
In a secluded place up north
Where I could be free to be me

Because all I want to do
Is live on the sidelines
And cheer for people like me
To live their best life, without me
