Grown Up

I think that in a way I have grown up.
Grown stronger, grown smarter, grown apart from you.
It only took one time for me to see
that I didn't need you every second of every day.
If you don't want what I do, I don't need you.
I've grown stronger
Holding my head up strong
When your shoulder's not there to lean it on.
I've grown smarter
Realizing all of this may not be right for me
But still keeping a tiny sliver of hope.
I've grown apart from you.
You're like a peice of my childhood
and I can take you with or leave you behind.
You decide. No! In fact, I'll decide!
