Be Free

Don't you see what you're doing to me?
Never attempting to let me be.
Always peering from the corner of your eye;
Always watching to be sure I don't fly
Away from the nest
Where you think I am best.

You don't understand
The freedom you've banned.
Never able to kiss
The boyfriend I so miss.
Never able to live
The life you did give.

You never allow me to make
My very own mistake.
Haven't you heard
The many wise word;
It's harder to learn
From someone else's burn?

With the chances I take
I will make a mistake,
But this is a must;
A lesson in a gust.
You must let me
Be free.
