I know I’m not the best in life,

But please give me the chance

To seek out hopes and dreams of mine

And make my own advance.

I may not be the best at what

My dreams tell me to do,

But that is what mistakes are for:

To show me what is true.

I don’t know where I’m going yet

Or what I want from life

But I can try things for myself

Without the need for strife.

I’ll always take a guiding voice

To help me see the light

I’ll make the choices in my life

With help when all is night.

I treasure all you’ve done for me,

And all the lessons too,

I wish you’d just let me be me,

And prove what I can do.

I’m done with all the rules I need

That tell me what is “right.”  

I’ll make my own decisions now

And soar away with might.
