Forever
I say things that hurt
You should know I don’t mean them
Sometimes the feelings take over
And it’s just too hard to fight
I know you want to help
I can’t help how I feel
I can only do so much
I don’t mean the words that come out of my mouth
I just want you to know
I don’t want money
I don’t want clothes
I don’t want makeup
I want love
I want trust
I want just a little bit more freedom
I know you’re scared
I am too
I just want to see the world
To find myself
I know you don’t like the idea of that
You want me to stay little forever
But time is going by
I can’t be a little girl forever
I will have to leave the nest
I will be okay
I have great parents that have made that possible
I know what’s right
I know what’s wrong
I can do this
I know I can
And don’t you worry
You will never lose me
I will forever be your baby girl.

My parents are always being over-protective and I just wanted them to know that I will be okay out in the world. I wrote this to speak for teen girls everywhere.
