the day my childhood ended
seems a bit strong
dont be offended
because it might not be wrong

throughout my whole life
i was told that i cant
be this or do that
which leaves me to rant

being a young leader
doesnt make me bossy
i can take charge
and be a bit saucy

just because im confident
and believe that im great
doesnt mean you arent too
sorry you cant relate

i might think im the best
but i know there are better
say youre impressed
that im such a go-getter

fighting for myself
and what i know i deserve
doesnt mean that im full of it
because i have nerve

to say the things i feel
or know to be true
its not going to my head
just because its not you

on one hand i should speak up
but then when i do
somehow im trying to fight
if only you knew

that might not be the case
actually its not at all
im being misunderstood
and made to feel small

i know thats not the intention
i dont want you to think
im saying youre wrong
or making a stink

over the years i have grown
into the person im supposed to be
even if im doing it alone
soon you will see

the day my childhood ended
isnt to be negative
instead its to show
that im changing the narrative
