I Understand Now

The voices are telling me
things that should not be told.
Saying I can't date
Because he's to old.

Putting things
Inside my head
Things untold. things unsaid.
I'm not scared. so should i dread?

Telling me never ever
Follow behind others.
I'm a leader.
I should be given my druthers.

I can't invite people over
They've told me they can't come just because.
Of course no one will come.
No one ever does.

But now as i think of it.
They only want to protect.
There are dangers in the world
Things that won't perfect.

They are my parents.
