on my own

what works for you may not be for me
there may be thing that you don't see
I need to grow and get ready to hold my own
but I'm not ready to do it all alone
your an important part of my life
although some is filled with worry and strife
i really don't want you to be my lead
there are parts of me you just can't read
i know all you want for me is the best
but you must let me fly and ON MY OWN past the test
when I'm on my own you won't be there
and world will be ready to give me a scare
im growing stronger as the days past
and i need you to let grow up at last

   This is good Lala La... Independence is a great feeling, although if everyone was independent.... no one would feel needed....and not feeling needed, is not a great feeling.

   Fellow Poet, Rick Brown wrote a similiar piece, with the same title, "ON MY OWN"- you ought to scope it out...
   

   Nice job.... ~PEACE OUT

   This was good. It makes you sound trapped, then freed to spread your wings. But the trap was only opened by saying, I don need you now.
