What do you do when your parents can't protect you anymore?
You're becoming and adult and, all of a sudden, life is no longer considered a joke
Friends aren't your main priority
You become afraid that you and your high school sweet-heart might go separate ways
Because there are no more high school days to keep you together
Those days of being carefree instantly become mere memories
The times when walking home with friends meant everything but now independence and responsibility become your way of life
I become scared of change because those sweet memories aren't that easy to leave
behind and now I am searching for that path that leads me to my new self
For years I've lived under my mother's "wing" not worrying about moving on by myself
What do you do when you are no longer provided guidance?
You now decide what's best for you
No more lectures about knowing right from wrong.
You've heard those over and over again
No I realize that my days of careless mistakes have come to an end
What do you do when you fear your dreams won't come true?
I am no longer sure about which direction to head
I start to question if my dreams and aspirations were simply foolish ideas that were once said
I don't know what will come in the future, or if I am ready
But after years of childhood, I've finally realized that there is no longer that serene, innocent life.
It is no longer mine.
