On Getting Older

My car is fixed and I could take off if I wished, but I've got stuff here yet. Some times I think it'd be easier for me to take off and begin my life out there at school in a new place. Other times I feel I'm not really ready to make a life of my own. I mean, it won't really be like I can't drive home when I feel lonely or when I miss my gram too much. I mean my sister moved to Alaska when she got married, that was really hard on her because she couldn't just come back when she wanted. She adjusted well after a few years I know it was rougher once pappy passed away. I had hoped he'd be around for my first year of college but God had other plans. Now its about time, I truthfully took responsibility of what I want in life. No more playing games and saying oops when I screw up. Its time to get my head straight and start living like a man.

I've come so far
You've helped me grow
It's time to go
I've got to make it
I've got to be my own person now
You've taught me well
I'll take the lessons
I'll remember them well
Its time for me
To be who I want to be
Its time for me
Too make a name for myself
You can't take care of me any more
I had hoped you'd be there for the start
But I made it through
I have a few new scars
But I know my mistakes
You'd be proud of me now
I'm going to be alright
Life is just beginning
I'm taking on responsibilities
Just like you said I would
I'm growing up
To be the man you hoped I be
I am going to be fine
I'm my own person now
