Rebel Child
I want out
 Of my home
 To be away
 From my parents
 I understand the hardship of life
 And know I'm too young to leave
 I'm put in situations 
 That I don't need or want to know
 Spending my life searching a way Out
 Not being able to wait to be on my Own
 Out of their reach 
 Their control
 Decisions
 Accusations
 They stop me from seeing him and More
 They try to understand but just Don't get me
 They say I'm so alike, I'm Completly different
 Knowing only half of me doesn't Count
 Seeing me as their little girl who
 Respects, Obeys, and Agrees
 But I'm nothing like that
 I've seen the worse of them and Learned not to believe
 Their security cannot protect me
 I look from under his wing and Hide from their disappointment
 It's sad but now I'm safe
 From their
 Demands
 Arguments 
 Disagreements
 To them he's just a boy
 Who will take me out of their 
 Reach
 Who will save my ears from their
 Yelling
 He's my friend
 My love
 My promise
 And my secret
 Daring to sneak off with him
 Going against their 
 Rules
 Nothing's going to happen
 Except for his arms around me
 And understandment
 Between us that no one wants to
 Hear
 I am that child 
 I am the one who dreams of escape
 I am the one patiently waiting for My chance
 To get out
 To be free
 To see him
 I am that rebel child
