I Gotta Grow Up.

Dedicated to my mom. :)

We fuss, We fight,

You wanna hold onto me real tight.

I get that alright.

You need to grasp the fact that I need to grow.

So let me go.

Gently please.

I need to to guarantee,

That you'll NEVER forget me.

I need you to know I'll ALWAYS be your little girl.

That makes you laugh, dance, and twirl!

I'll remember seeing a smile on your face,

When I tell you about my imaginary place.

With all the monsters, magic, and all.

And telling you about that dancing cotton ball.

I remember all of it.

I know you know I love banana split.

You know everything.

You can't wait 'till the day I get a wedding ring.

This is why I love you.

I know you do, too.

So, mom...let me go.

I need to grow.

Family's relationship is the most simple yet complex kind of relationship in this life, it's not easy and sometimes seems possible but the truth is parents do love their child no matter how they act, they really keep it to themselves and sometimes I understand if let's say a mother tend to find herself hard to release her son or daughter, but in the end she'll gain her faith for you and will let you go, just don't forget to pay her a visit from time to time when you finally away from her...

[Pssss I don't Exist.]

Beautiful...in the end we all need room to grow, from our peers and our family, i liked this alot, had alot of meaning to me, keep writing.

I liked this a lot. The idea of growing up and becoming a separate person from your parents is something that everyone goes through in life, and I thought that you captured this idea in a very personal and touching way. The fact that you wrote it addressed to your mother made it feel all the more real and all the more raw, and I thought that the last few lines in particular was a really beautiful way to end the poem. Nice work,
