I feel helpless
Trapped here
Unable to get out
Unable to act on my own
Having to rely on someone else
To have there consent
On everything that I do
It doesn’t feel right
I have rights
I am considered an adult
By law
But here I feel like a child
Under theirs
There is no balance
Between the two
I am almost free form this place
But it feels so far away
I hope that I can make it
I really hope that I do
When I have my diploma
In my hand
I will be free
