13

I may be 13
but I'm wise for my years
I've learned from the mistakes I've seen
and i need you to open up your ears

I'm growing up now
theres nothing you can do
except for you to not have a cow
because I'm no longer 2

I need you to understand
I'm now a young lady
who every now and then needs a helping hand
but not a mother who wont let me be me

I know this hard
and I can see why
for both you and dad
But I'm no longer little no matter how hard I try

so let me grow up
so i can finally be
the perfect mother
like you are for me.
