She's To Young

When she was little she always wanted to do all that grown ups do.
   They'd say to her there is plenty of time to do these things when I'd grow up.
 Now that she's grown, she still feels to young, that is how others have made her 
feel.  She has a baby face, and no one ever listens to what she has to say.
 They think her opinion is not valid, so they discredit her.  She feels the whole 
world is forgeting her. She's twenty one she has a say, although no one feels that 
way. She feels she has disappointed most of the family in her life, because she 
is not a career woman or a wife. She doesn't know what she wants out of life yet, 
she does know she wants respect.
