Time to Grow Up

i'm tired of people trying to live my life for me

Stop trying to live my life,
you have your own.
Yeah i might screw it up,
but thats up to me.

I never asked to be here,
but now that I am,
I'm not going to sit by,
and follow the path you've all planned.

I'm going to dance in the rain,
and try to ignore what brings me pain,
It's not going to be easy or come at a cheap cost,
but I'm not going to give up what little I haven't lost.

Its about time I step into my name,
and stop trying to play other people's games.
Its about time I make my own rules,
and fight my own duels.

I keep saying I need to grow up,
and its about time I start.
No one is going to get a piece of me,
I'm finally going to take a stand.

Starting now I'm going to leave the little girl behind,
and I'm going to put my dollies in their boxes.
I'll put my teddies on a shelf, and step into the big bad world...
All in all, i'm gonna pop my Bubble.

Walk and dance in the rain and step into your one name, positive, forward thinking words and you will. If you want it, you will. It's so important to fight for your beliefs and one of the biggest beliefs is....in yourself.

Good thoughtful writing :)

This a beautiful piece. It's definition is heavy. It was consistent. The poem reflected your name. A good read and motivation to followers! Well done.
