On My Own


Alexis Garrison 

26 June 2019 

 

On My Own

 

There’s a time in your life 

when the skies aren’t so blue, 

and the sun doesn’t shine so bright 

 

There’s a time in your life 

When there’s no more mommy and daddy; 

no more brother or sister 

Just you 

 

Lost

Is the correct word 

No idea of what to do, 

or where to go 

 

So many suggestions 

You should do this

You should do that 

But no one really knows 

 

Time to be a big girl 

Time to fight the big big world 

Because your all on your own
