Yelling won't help me
Unless you think I'm right,
I'll be yelling into unlistening space,
And you won't hear a word.
You’ll never know how much those words hurt
Because every time I say they do,
You push them back in my face,
Saying my independence will hurt you.
You steal my self-sufficiency,
And tell me I need your help.
I need you to meddle in a situation,
A situation I just fixed from you.
You tell me I don’t need to work so hard.
But hard work is how you get good things.
And I want this.
More than before.
I WANT TO DO MY OWN WORK
I want to make my own decisions,
And not feel bad for making them.
I want my independence back.
And I will do what it takes.

Yelling won't help me
Unless you think I'm right,
I'll be yelling into unlistening space,
And you won't hear a word.
You’ll never know how much those words hurt
Because every time I say they do,
You push them back in my face,
Saying my independence will hurt you.
You steal my self-sufficiency,
And tell me I need your help.
I need you to meddle in a situation,
A situation I just fixed from you.
You tell me I don’t need to work so hard.
But hard work is how you get good things.
And I want this.
More than before.
I WANT TO DO MY OWN WORK
I want to make my own decisions,
And not feel bad for making them.
I want my independence back.
And I will do what it takes.
