Growing Up Fast
Nobody seems to care
But I felt like I should share
I was at the ripe age of ten
My parents were fighting again
I had to grow up fast
Even though they never asked
My brother and sister needed me
To be there when they had to pee
Or wanted a cup of tea
Or wanted to visit the sea
Or climb a tall tree
Or someone to just agree
They didn’t want to plea
They just wanted to be carefree
I was able to provide
Even if I was not qualified
I did not even realize
How much I grew to despise
My parents put a lot on me
And I have still not been set free
My siblings still need me
Maybe not when they pee
Or want a cup of tea
Or to visit the sea
Or climb a tall tree
But I’m sill here to agree
And to hear them plea
Because I want them to be carefree
My siblings have been my entire life
Even when we strife
I could not be more proud
Because I have vowed
To make sure they will be okay
Even when I have to go away
My siblings do not need me
Not when they pee
Or want a cup of tea
Or to visit the sea
Or climb a tall tree
Even though I’m here to agree
And hear them plea
They are now free
I have done all that I can
I have tried to be superman
I have grown so much
And I expect nothing less than such
I am stronger, I’m not going to lie
And now it’s time to say goodbye
