I heard you the first time
Can we please make it the last
I don't need to hear it again
I'm not who I was in the past
Every time you scold me
It reminds me of who I once was
I'm tired of tripping over my feet
And have to second guess nearly everything I think
I just want to be free
And please don't tell me anything
I've made it this far on my own
And I've got a lot farther to go
I know there is still more I need to know
You've got to let go
If you want me to grow
I'm doing everything I can
And I am already everything that I am
i look at your 'birth date' and do math; you are 22 (almost!) on the '28th' of Feb.? ok, at that age you probably SHOULD be flying the coop, ......but thankful you haven't been kicked out of the coop earlier! ! ! (to be continued) ...............
favorite lines: You've got to let go If you want me to grow I'm doing everything I can And I am already everything that I am ..................but everything that I am probably came about, in large part due to the efforts/help of your parents (if this is a true 'story' about you) . ok, maybe not a VERY LARGE part. (to be continued) .................
you were ready to 'leave the nest'? ? i think you wanted Fly The Coop, not Coup, nor Coupe! ha ha. and you have father for farther. a simple typo, though you may have been thinking of 'Daddy' while typing. :) (to be continued) ................

I would like to translate this poem
sometimes (not much in this poem) punctuation can make a big difference in how a reader interprets/reads a poem. at least lack of punctuation slows me down at times and is a bit of a nuisance. all that said, and without more 'preaching', i say nice job. i wish you and 'them' well. to MyPoemList. bri ;)
