I am a teenager
Not a child
Not an adult
I don't have a job
I don't play all day
I am stuck in the middle
And am trying to find the woman in me
But I need time
Not protection
Time
To learn to face this on my own
I don't need to be told
What to do or believe
I can make my own choices
I just need more time
To figure out
Where I belong in this world
