• Your Little Girl

    Just because I'm growing up
    Doesn't mean I have to change.
    Just because I am a teen
    Doesn't mean I'll go on a rampage.
    Just because school is hard
    And at night I often cry
    Doesn't mean I've turned so emotional
    That I suddenly want to die.
    Why have you come so suspicious Mom?
    Inspecting my every move.
    It's quite sad that you don't trust me,
    So I guess I'll have to prove...
    That I don't want a baby
    At age sixteen
    And that I'm only irritated at my homework,
    When I scream that horrible scream.
    I don't want purple highlights in my hair,
    But then again...
    Why do you suddenly care?
    Just because I'm growing up
    Doesn't mean I have to change.
    Oh mom, why can't you believe
    That your little girl is still the same?
