HE SAID ITS 7 WEEKS INTO SCHOOL
ACTUALLLY, 7 WEEKS OF FRESHMEN YEAR
5 MORE WEEKS AND ITS GOING TO BE HALF OF MY FRESHMEN YEAR.
THEN HE MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 3 YEARS AND WE'RE OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL
HE MADE ME REALIZE THAT HIGH SCHOOL ISN'T GOING TO LAST
HE MADE ME REALIZE THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 3 YEARS AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO GET KICKED OUT THE HOUSE OR IS MY MOM GOING TO LET ME STAY.
THEN I STARTED THINKING.............................................
THEY USED TO CALL ME A LITTLE GIRL
THEY USED TO CALL ME A KID
THEY USED TO CALL ME A TEENAGER
AND NOW THEY CALL ME A YOUNG ADULT.. NEXT THING I KNOW IM BEING CALLED A GROWN WOMAN/ADULT.
AND NOW I REALIZE MY KID DAYS ARE OVER AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
ITS TIME TO MATURE
ITS TIME TO OWN UP FOR WHAT I DO
ITS TIME TO OWN UP FOR WHAT I LIKE OR WHO I LIKE
ITS TIME TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE
ITS TIME TO LEAVE MY CHILDHOOD BEHIND
ITS TIME TO SPEAK UP FOR MYSELF BECAUSE AS A KID NO ADULT TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY BUT NOW I AM NO LONGER A KID
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT RAISED ME
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT TOLD ME TO GROW UP
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO TOLD ME TO SPEAK UP
YOU YOU ARE THE ONE THAT SAID MY KID/TEENAGE YEARS WERE OVER
"SO ITS TIME FOR ME TO SPEAK UP.!"
SO YES I DO AGREE WITH YOU, YOU DID RAISE ME AND YES I DID NEED TO GROW UP BUT NOW I HAVE GROWN UP
AND RIGHT YOU DID TELL ME TO SPEAK UP AND NOW I AM BY TELLING YOU TO GIVE ME A BIT OF MORE FREEDOM
I AM 15 GOING ON TO 16.
YEA I KNOW I HAVE HAD ALOT OF RESPONSIBILITY SINCE I WAS AROUND 12 AND I KNOW AS I GET OLDER I WILL GET MORE BUT JUST PLEASE LET ME SPEAK FOR MYSELF, GIVE ME SPACE, AND GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT OF MORE FREEDOM
JUST REMEMBER IM NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE I AM A YOUNG ADULT.!
