Locked up


I'm no longer a kid. I've matured mom, yes I did. You keep me locked up, And I'm getting really fed up. It's nine o'clock and you're telling me togoto sleep. I just want to see my friends instead I'm stuck here to weep. I know if it were up to my dad, My life wouldn't be so sad. I don't have any siblings so I'm always alone. The closest I get to not being alone is through my phone. I can't stand it any longer, I need a place to wonder. If you don't let me into the world sometime, I'm not gonna survive a longtime. I just want to be free, like a bird Someone take me away from HER.
