The sun knows when it's time to rise

The stars know how to tell no lies

The flowers know when to bloom

The moon knows it's not yet time for doom

But I cannot seem to know when

When it's time to shout or when it's time to zen

Even when it's all set before me

I cannot tell when I can be truly free

I cannot be expressive in front of the higherups

I cannot be knowledgeable if they're older

I cannot love because it's a waste of time

And I cannot grow too fast until my "prime"

What's it like to just do it just because I can

Because I can

What's it like to know and let them know I know

Because I know

I want to feel, I want to know

I want to love, I want to grow

I want to be free

I want to be me
