if you only knew what your little girl feels

Why is it so hard to swallow?
I was made for chasing dreams
and I'll do just that
your only one
who created her own road
to walk on
Still you hold her back

I kicked and
I pushed my way
through
I see how you go easy on them
I long for that
Acceptance, too

Independent, yes
but I still need you
I cant do everything
all on my own
I'm just a child
I'm your child

Why won't you help me?
