Let me be, who I am,
Let me live, as myself,
Right or wrong, on my own,
And that’s my way!
Not once, you asked,
Every time, you told,
I cannot do this, anymore,
Too old to fold.
I am human, just like you,
Sometimes, hear me too,
Scold, when I wrong,
Let me leap first, then take a stand.
Assumptions, sometimes kill,
You never know, what else will,
Speak your mind, when its time,
Don’t assume or judge, I will not nudge.
I cry, all the time,
Tears roll back, every time,
Let me be, alone,
Don’t, drag me along.
You made me, who I am,
Color me, when I need,
Not only, to look good,
But, when I need too.
