Payoff of Childhood

seems like today is june 9, 1992 when the doctor held me out to you ballons and banner say's its a girl a beautiful baby born into the world seem like yesterday i was brought from a dark womb into light felt like only yesterday i was held day and night changed and fed directed and lead almost 18 years later and i wonder if i can turn around im lost and haven't been found stop i can't go back and run i wake up everyday and this 17 year old girl returns saying to life that you've reach your first milestone life have just began and your childhood is somewhat gone left behind in baby and memory books hanging on old picture frames from hooks its that time people expect for you to call on mommy and daddy a little less its that time for knowing and not a time of guess Do you know where you're going or not? You have to answer that question right on the spot There's no time for figuaring out or saying "i have yet to know" they're ready to refurnish your room and tell you to go For the life they prepared you for For many years and more Seem like yesterday i was still this child Seem like yesterday when things didn't seem so wild Im 17 years old and according to the law im not grown But guess what Im making serious decisions on my own Decisions that will affect my life and whats ahead Decisions that saying im no longer a kid In 20 days im leagal by law but in a heart beart i'll get down on my two paws to expericene the blast of childhood i think again and i don't think i should all i work for has shown in three days im across the stage and gone waving to my younger sibblings and setting that postive example
