Mom I know you want to help me,

but I need to do this on my own.

I need to break out,

and have a life of my own.

You watched over me as I grew to a man,

but now that I am of age,

I have reached the stage,

were I don't need your guidance anymore.

And though I leave to go out on my own,

you will always hold a special place in my heart,

all alone.
