Welcome To the World

Welcome to the world
Of I don’t want to hear
Ignoring your problems
Ignoring your fear

You think that they care
And will be there for you
Reality is
They don’t have a clue

They have their own world
And that’s where they’ll stay
You can’t count on them
Its better this way

You shouldn’t depend
On others you know
Your life is your own
And one day you will grow

Grow into the woman
You’d thought you would be
It’s really quite easy
One day you will see

What life has to offer
I will one day see
I’m better than this
I’m all I can be
