Let Go Of The Leash

I feel the leash

Getting tighter around me

As the years move forward

But I want my wings

Are you scared that?

I'm going to leave

I'm not like you

I didn't drop out

Why can't you let go?

I can take care of myself

I'm gone once I'm done

The freedom I have is to little

Just let me go

Why keep treating me like a child

I'm not 2 or 5 or 10 years old

I'm 17 years old I'll be 18 next year

Take the leash off me

Let me spread my wings

Let me grow without your help

The time has come to let go.
