Why can't they see me
As i truly am?
A young woman with her own agenda
And a quick enough mind to run it
I try my hardest
To gain their approval
To prove to them
That I'm responsible
But I'm too young to do this,
Too naive to do that
Not even good enough
To run my own life
I'm not asking for emancipation
Just some recognition
Some respect for the work i put in
To be the person they want
When will they see i can take care of myself?
When will they hear my true voice instead of a child's?
When will they tell me I'm free to make decisions?
When will they realize I'm not a baby anymore?
