Not a Little Girl
I want to bust out
I want to be free
To be able to live
To the best of my ability
Let me be the young woman
You say I am
When I try to show you,
You just shoot down my chance
You won't let me act older,
You won't let me be young
I have so much to say,
But for now I'll hold my tongue.
I'll just speak with my actions--
Not with my words
Soon you will see
That I'm not a little girl.
