Love is letting go

I hate you sometimes/
Why do you always say NO/
Why do you alway have to stomp on my dreams/
Why do you alway have to belittle my ideas/
Why do you always have to go poke the miniscule cracks and flaws/
in my shiny new dreams//

Why are you so stubborn/
why do you think you are always right/
why can't you put on my glasses and see it like me/
why do you think you are always right//

It's breaking my heart/
I need your support and love/
but everytime we try to talk it just errupts into shouting matches/
I wish I could show you how I really feel//

Please understand/
I need freedom and space to grow/
Baby birds need to leave the nest and learn to fly/
And sometimes love means letting go//

Mother/
I know you love me/
But in your eyes I am still that 5 year old girl/
Wake up and see time has passed by//

Don't tell me that it's impossible/
Can you just believe in me this once/
Trust my decisions/
Why can't you have faith in me//

I know what I need to do/
I know who I am/
I know where to go/
Let me be me//
