You clipped my wings
For years.
Subduing me through medications
That now I take to help me.
You clipped my wings,
And for what?
To watch a downward spiral
Of regret and turmoil,
And you'll never be proud of me
Unless I turn out just like you.
You clipped my wings,
But I've grown brand new feathers:
I'm flying and I'm soaring.
This life I have just proves
That your judgment and scorn is boring.
You used to clip my wings,
But you don't have a hold on me anymore,
And I know it's driving you absolutely mad
Watching me soar.
You used to clip my wings,
And I'm so glad that you're not in charge,
Because this is my life,
And I know that drives you crazy.
You used to
And still are trying to
Clip my wings.
But you can't,
I won't let you.
I'm just who I have to be.
You can't clip my wings anymore.
It's time to let birds of a feather
Flock together.

Please just stop. (In reference to my father who would rather me become a little him instead of do what I believe is right for me)
