Why do I have to explain myself to you

Why do you criticize every little thing I do

Why do I often feel like my answers should please you

Can I just be me

Can I just live the way I want

Can I believe what I want to believe

Can I think the way I want to think

Can I see things the way I want to see,

Without you judging me

This is petty

Why do you care so much about my personal choices

Why do you have to nitpick at everything I say

Everything little thing!

Just let me be

Why can’t you all just let me be me

Let me be happy

No criticism, no pressure to be what you want me to be

To believe how you want me to believe

To think how you want me to think

To see how you want me to see

I just want to be ME

I just want to be HAPPY

HAPPILY ME!
