Just Wait
I stumble through life
I trip and fall
I can't always get up on my own
I call out to you
but you wont hear me
Do it yourself
it's all you ever tell me
I know you think you're helping
but you're just leaving me to drown
I try to do as you say
but I can't
You might be able to do it yourself
but not me
Don't you hear me cry at night
Do you just ignore it
or do you pause for a minute and
and think it over
I can't keep up with you
never could
You're always outdistancing me
why can't you wait up
just this once
I need you
Don't leave me here
I'm so lost
At least turn around and look at me
you can't always walk away
and I can't always try to catch up
I'm not going to follow you forever
I'm not allowed to be your baby sister any more
you won't let me
So now I'm walking away from you
towards people who actually care
And I'm not coming back
