Moving out

Had enough of being used

Had enough of feeling abused

The time has come to leave behind

To separate and go on your way

There's no more time to delay

It's absolute: to your dismay

Got to get out from behind

There's no need to be unkind

Just escape: live for the brand new day

Run away, not fight again another day

Freedom beckons: take her hand

Allow the air to clear

No more living in abject fear

We all have to grow up and fly the coop

We all have to spread our wings some day

Life begins when mum lets go the apron strings

Then its escape, feel the release, enjoy the play

Get out and live your life your way...

But remembering the good lessons that were set

In your brain and please never forget...

The love that was increased each and every day

As parents and siblings did the best they could

We: none of us are perfect: that is to be understood...
