Taking Flight

They call it self evaluation 

So refrain from your persuasion

Let me form my own reputation

For once happiness isn't perceived as fake

I ask you watch me make my mistake

Because it will always be mine to make

Where I'm headed I don't know

Just let me go and I'll try and take things slow

Let me learn to appreciate every blow

Give me time I know I can withstand

Because the truth is I understand 

You've already walked, where I stand

I'm holding the cards, let me play the game

I gotta learn to hold my head regardless of the shame

Let me laugh, move on and take the blame

It's not easy to for some to observe

I start to straighten up then I hit a curve

I'm sorry that it's striking your every nerve

All in good time I will grow more aware

Until then I'm sure I'll be reason of some scare

But don't toss me in this interrogation chair

People will forever be in need of space

You don't always need to take chase

Let me finish last in a race

Because it's my race to complete

To me the feeling of winning is obsolete

Right now I have no wish to compete

I'm gonna trip, hurt myself and fall

When It's over I'll have been through it all

Maybe then I will be able to stand up tall

The thing is, to me making mistakes is important

Until I've made them on my own, expect I'll be insubordinate 

This is one thing I wish to coordinate
