BY HOLDING ME BACK

by Annika - Scorpio

As minutes turn into hours, hours years
I pray you'll change your old-fashioned ways
Otherwise I will never be able to stop crying these salt-filled tears.
Tell me how I'm supposed to say I'm sorry to a person who's never listening to what I say for days.
In your own mind thoughts you conceive
That I'm still young & there's so much I still have to see.
Is it what you've been told or what you believe?
Do I really live in a fantasy world where I can be whatever I want to be?
My mind, heart & soul are all in pain.
I am no longer a child,
By holding me back, what are you trying to gain?
My ways are no longer that wild
I just want to live life to its fullest.

Reason for writing:

    It's how I feel about my parents & my relationship. Any comments/suggestions email me at sweetdaisy2@yahoo.com. Thanks!
