Let me decide.
Not quite grown,
and still around.
Although I took the wheel-
You're determined to steer.
You cannot begin,
to understand-
how your doubt
astounds me.
Yes, I love you,
of course I do!
But you treat me,
as if I'm helpless.
Immature and young?
Incapable?
Hardly.
Open your eyes,
It's time to see:
That little girl,
is a woman of twenty.
Let me decide.
I may be wrong,
and I just might lose.
But it's up to me,
and not for you to choose.
I feel as if-
I'm living for everyone else.
It's my life,
but only if I do it your way.
Living for others,
just confuses me more.
Indentity lost in the shuffle.
You've done me no wrong-
and your feelings are understood.
I will always appreciate you.
But now I must take a stand,
of course I may still need your hand,
but for now-
please, let me decide.
And have a little faith,
I'll be okay.

For my father.

Living for everyone else---I know that one too well. I also see it around me much too often. Hmmm---at least you know and unwillingly are forced to do such.

I enjoyed reading it...it hit home abit for me! I'll look into a few more of your works!
