Growing Up Poem
A child asks for a little more freedom and assures her parents that she still loves them.
I'm Growing Up
©
Cortny O. Rodriguez
Why do we fight?
I'd really like to know.
I don't think I can stand to put on this show.
It hurts me inside
and I see it hurts you too.
But I don't think you understand what you put me through.
I'm growing up inside
but not the outside you see.
I think you still want me to be three.
It hurts me real bad
Worse than you know.
I want to grow up
I'm not asking to go.
You have to let me grow up sometime you see.
But I'm still not asking to be completely free.
I want your trust
and a bit of lee way too.
But that doesn't mean I don't still love you.
I'm not asking to leave
or grow up too fast.
I just wanna have fun without having to ask.
I'd really like to know.
I don't think I can stand to put on this show.
It hurts me inside

But I don't think you understand what you put me through.
I'm growing up inside
but not the outside you see.
I think you still want me to be three.
It hurts me real bad
Worse than you know.
I want to grow up
I'm not asking to go.
You have to let me grow up sometime you see.
But I'm still not asking to be completely free.
I want your trust
and a bit of lee way too.
But that doesn't mean I don't still love you.
I'm not asking to leave
or grow up too fast.
I just wanna have fun without having to ask.
