Sixteen years, I had the freedom
But the mental abuse makes my heart go numb
Not once did you guide me when I needed you
I was left alone to experience the new

Sixteen years, and I have captivated my independence
Choices and decisions I make with common sense
Now you come to take it all away
Deciding your authority can now come to stay

Sixteen years, where were you before?
Only to provide me with food that you worked for
Didn't provide me with the love that I needed
Even thought I called out and pleaded

Sixteen years, and now you come to me
To impose restriction that I've never had on me
Authority you seem to posses never have I seen before
This free heart can't be dependent once more... 823
