What I Don't Need


What I don't need?

I don't need someone telling me what to do

No more do this, no more do that

What I need, want, demand is something so simple

Easily taken for granted.

 Independence. 

 

What I don't need?

I dont need someone telling me which way is wrong, which is right

Everyone has their own path, why must I follow yours?

I want whats best for me too, its alright you're not alone.

Just let me

Do me,

 

Let me make my own mistakes

Independence is what I crave,

Small tastes, but never a full bite.

A tantilizing tease to the tongue, I'm ready for my proper serving

What I don't need?

You breathing down my neck while I

Enjoy this buffet in front of me
