Time for me to grow up

by Jenn   Jul 4, 2008


Why do you sit there and judge me?
Why can't you let a teenager be?
I know you used to be one,
So why can't you just understand me?

You grew up in a different time,
An era without rhyme.
But here I am, Spilling my heart
Hoping you'll understand this time.

I hurt every night when I go to sleep
My heart has been broken and cut real deep.
I try to fix the shattered glass,
But I'm unable to find a happiness to keep.

Did you know that you take that away?
You replace happiness with sorrow everyday.
and though I try to make things right,
I'm just tossed aside anyway.

So please just let me move on,
Because In the morning, I'll be gone.
I've gone to find my paradise,
And now I know it won't be long.

So don't you sit there and pass a judgment,
I'm still the girl I've always been.
But Dad, it's time for me to go my own way,
It's time for my life to really Begin...
