MY-SPACE

You act like nothing can go wrong.
So I try to remain strong.
I know it hurts when I walk away,
But please know that I am okay.
Don’t call me back into your arms right now.
I need to go somewhere where there is no sound.
I need some space to call my own.
Somewhere I can throw away the bad stones.
I know you want to keep me by your side.
But right now I just need my time.
Don’t be mad because I leave,
Have faith in me.
I will be back one day.
In the meantime I’ll let you know that I’m okay.
I need to find a place where I can make my own choice.
I need to find a place where I can hear my own voice.
You have already made so many decisions for me.
Why can’t you just let me be?
I want to make my own mistakes.
One day I will look back and say it was a piece of cake.
I know you’re standing right there,
And I know that you care.
Don’t worry about how things will turn out.
God is there and He’s what it is all about.
I want to be able to live my own life.
Don’t put me through any unnecessary strife.
Let me grow into the person you raised me to be.
Let me grow to show everyone the real me.
I’m not a child any longer,
And my heart has grown stronger.
I can handle the things that come my way.
Just let me go; I promise to come back someday.
