Growing Up

By EveJustWantedToKnow

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I never said that I'm an adult, only that I'm not a baby. I never said that I'm a mature person, only that I'm trying, but I can't if you hold me back. I'm not sure if I can stand on my own, but I'll never know if you don't let go. If you love me, love me for who I am; give me sometime alone to find out who that is. Let me soar. Set me free. Allow me to live. I only want to be me.this one is to my parents. Written March 7th, 2000 © on Jan 25 2002 04:59 AM PST   18 • 5 • 1
