On My Own

How do I get out of here

Without showing my fear

The world is a scary place

With more than just one face



Where can I go

Without following the flow

I want a place of my own

A place I can call "My Home"



When can I leave

On my own to achieve

Sooner or later I have to learn

There's things I have to earn



Who will I meet

Will they be a real treat

Will they be real mean

Or be real keen



Why can't everyone see

That independence is a need
