how old do i have to get
before i understand?
how old must i be to know?
you say i'm too young, but when won't i be?
you learn from experience,
that i know,
and i've already experienced,
and i know i've grown.
i know these things
and i'll fight for them too.
but when will i be old enough
for you to let me be young?
when will i be old enough
to have your support?
to have my childhood back?
to not have to fight for this?
when will i be old enough,
for you to believe me?
