Array ( [sid] => 104668 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Let me Go [time] => 2005-08-30 02:25:34 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I don’t understand it
Why wont you let me go?
Are you trying to hold me back?
Are you trying to keep me here?

I know I’m your little girl
I know you tend to worry
I know you care
But its time to face the facts

I’m not the little girl I used to be
Following in your shadow, your every step
Being daddy’s lil helper
Always trying to make you proud

I’m a young woman now
I can do things on my own
I make my own path and my own decisions

Its time to let me go
Its time for me to experience life
Its time for me to live

I know it’s hard
I know its rough
But you need to let me go
Let me learn for my own
Let me succeed
Let me make mistakes

I’m not saying I wont need you
I’m not saying you will play less a role in my life
I just feel I can’t grow if I’m help back here

I want to live
I want to experience things
I want you to let me go

I will always be your little girl no matter my age
I will always love you
I will always care
I will never be too big for your hugs

But now its time for you to let me go
I know you’re scared
Because how can you protect me if I’m not here?
How can you ease the pain if I’m not around?
How can you know what’s going on if I’m not home?

But you raised me well
I know right from wrong
I know what to do, and what not to

So now it’s your turn to take the risk
Its time for you to have a little trust and faith
Its time for you to let this little girl of yours go!

Let me Go

I don’t understand it
Why wont you let me go?
Are you trying to hold me back?
Are you trying to keep me here?

I know I’m your little girl
I know you tend to worry
I know you care
But its time to face the facts

I’m not the little girl I used to be
Following in your shadow, your every step
Being daddy’s lil helper
Always trying to make you proud

I’m a young woman now
I can do things on my own
I make my own path and my own decisions

Its time to let me go
Its time for me to experience life
Its time for me to live

I know it’s hard
I know its rough
But you need to let me go
Let me learn for my own
Let me succeed
Let me make mistakes

I’m not saying I wont need you
I’m not saying you will play less a role in my life
I just feel I can’t grow if I’m help back here

I want to live
I want to experience things
I want you to let me go

I will always be your little girl no matter my age
I will always love you
I will always care
I will never be too big for your hugs

But now its time for you to let me go

How can you know what’s going on if I’m not home?

But you raised me well

So now it’s your turn to take the risk
Its time for you to have a little trust and faith
Its time for you to let this little girl of yours go!

Very good write and reasoning.
I'm not a father but mother and I know how hard it is to let go 'cause most parents want to protect their children from the big bad world out there.
still one knows they have to give tuff luv when that time comes.
Still u are very understanding and your father should be proud of u for that.
huggs,
emy

Excellent write... written with such deep emotions... You stated your case well....
I once wrote a poem called Letting Go.... from the other side of the coin....
