My Life
Leave me alone, don’t watch me.
Why are you here? Don’t look at me.
Am I doing something wrong or comical?
Why are you laughing? Stop!
I don’t want you here. Stop telling me what to do.
Leave me be and I will do the same for you.
Is there something wrong with me,
Wanting to live my life for myself?
Live your life and I’ll live mine.
I’m not going to do what everyone else
Is doing and you shouldn’t either.
I don’t expect others to do what I’m doing,
And they shouldn’t expect me to do
What they are.
My life is my own and not yours to watch.
I will not let you judge me by
The mistakes that I’ve made and
I promise I will not judge you.
Don’t watch me, don’t follow me,
Don’t you dare even look at me, because
My life is my own.
Let me be.
Live your life how you want to live,
And I will live mine.
