17

I'm a 17 year old who's living with a 25 year old mindset Thinking to herself, she's got it all figured out, I say my future is set When in reality, I'm still daddy's girl With big dreams, I just wanna show the world what my life means I have more reasons to give up rather then to keep going Oh no! That's my fear talking, I need to ignore it Because I got to show everyone, I'm going for it So many right & wrongs ones counting on me Waiting To see me shine or to see me fall I have to take in mind the one's who've believed in me I promise I'll never forget about it at all I got a wake up call, I wish I didn't Made me realize I'm getting older, no kidding I have to admit I'm mainly terrified of growing up Got my childhood yanked, that's why I wish to be forever young Instead of choosing which outfit to wear I made decisions on what dinner to cook next Hey we should go on a date? You decide, we can go anywhere My Reply? Nah I can't, there's dishes, laundry & family tears I need to wipe away Lost the person that meant the world & universe to me way too soon Didn't even bother asking if i was ready to let go of my childhood at 12 too Went from being the second youngest to the unasked eldest How much easier it would be to just slit my wrists & go back home No more fighting, no more crying, no more having to live anymore But that wasn't what my mom died for nor why my pop chose to work through cold rain storms I'm a 17 year old who's living with a 25 year old mindset Came to realizing, I don't got it all figured out & my future isn't set Just reality, I am in fact still daddy's little girl no matter what age I got bigger dreams now, I'm just going to show the world what living life really actually means
