Adulthood
December 28, 2016
She left the ground with pride
She wouldn't live like this
They couldn't make her stay
She was free forever
She was on her own now
They sent her out, alone
She knew she had to live
She couldn't just fail this
They gave her a challenge
She had a point to prove
She'd make herself a life
Without their help
She's an adult now
