Life It is what it is We can't force it to change to make us happy People try to make us change to make them happy But we cannot be anything than what we already are So tell me something, If you don't mind Why? Why do you try to push your beliefs on me? Why do you try to get me to conform to your ideas? Trying so hard to make them mine, and make me believe them the way you do Why do you try to get me to change who I am? Am I not good enough for you? Is the way I think and feel and act different than the way you do? Good Because I am not like you I don't ever intend to be like you Because what works for you does not work for anyone else Now you may think similarly to someone else, but it's not the same Who I am is not for you, or anyone else, to decide It's for me to decide Me and me alone People cannot make me into something, or someone, I'm not Just because they don't like who I am now Well, if I like who I am, then why should your opinion matter to me? It doesn't! So let me be who I am Let me go and live my life Without you breathing down my neck That's the only way I can be who I truly am You can either join me on my journey Or you can watch from the sidelines Either way I will make this happen I will be me No judgement No restrictions No opinions Just me and who I am meant to be

Let Me Live
