Dreams of Becoming an Adult

[Pandie]

They treat me like Im innocent
To the realities of life
I bet that they dont understand
That I too can feel strife.

I haven't tossed my life away
Just because Im not like you
Give me time and you will see
That what I say is true.

The world has changed alot, you see
Since when you were a kid
Have faith in me and I will soar
The way that you once did.

To you my dreams may seem foolish
But that's why they are my own
And I have the strenth in my heart
To see them through alone.

It's not a stage that I'll outgrow
If only given time
But rather a dream I'm working towards
So please don't treat it like a crime.

You once said that I could be
Anything I so choose
And I believed that with all my heart
So what have we got to loose?

Allow me to make my own mistakes
Let me try to find a way
To make my dreams a reality
And live them every day.

Encourage me to try my best
Don't assume that I will fail
For when we truely do believe
It's then thats when I will prevail.

I may be young but I am wise
And know what I can do
who knows, maybe I'll susceed
And do as well as you...
