I, a Grown Up

This is me grown up How hard could that be? This is me 18 years later Aren't I supposed to be free? This is me grown up Is this not how you raised me? A character, an independent Is it too much? I'm sorry This is me grown up Still doing things you would want me to Should I stop now? I don't think you'd ever want me to This is me grown up Distorted and confused But you never know that I intend you'd never have to This is me grown up Life beating me up Sometimes you help me, sometimes you don't Maybe sometimes you should stop This is me grown up Now built in with imperfections Do you still see your child? I wish you'd try to read my emotions This is me grown up Not getting any younger But I feel you want me acting older I hope you do not forget you've raised an actor t. h.
