No Longer A Child

I am no longer a child,

Why can't you people see it?

You say I am a part of you,

And then "go away" or "beat it."

Believe it or not, I have grown up

In more ways than one

I understand the battles we fight

They're not just plain fun.

You must realize, I am a help

When you really need me.

But other times, you make me stay,

You go away and leave me.

I'm a part of the team,

Just like you or you,

I've proved it many times.

And then you chide me for doing wrong,

As if making a mistake is a crime.

I hope one day, you'll understand

That I can hold my ground

And that I'm no longer a child,

In deed, nor sight, nor sound
