It's my life,
It's not yours to live,
It's my choice,
It's not yours to pick.
It's my instinct,
It's not yours to feel,
It's my goal,
it's not yours to achieve.
It's my education,
It's not yours to learn,
It's my dreams,
It's not yours to chase.
Have an opinion,
But, I won't agree to it.
Have a say,
But I won't do it.
Just be there,
Or go away,
Just support me,
Or don't give a damn.
It's my life,
It's not yours to control,
It's my choice,
It's not yours to judge.
It's my instinct,
It's not yours to listen,
It's my goal,
It's not yours to succeed.
It's my education,
It's not yours to complete,
It's my dreams,
It's not yours to manage.
Have a go,
But, I won't surrender,
Have a thought,
But, I won't ask for it.
Just be there,
Or don't be,
Just support me,
Or don't at all,
I wouldn't care.
I wish that many people would have the strength to tell their parents everything you have written here. I wish I had the strength to tell my mother this when I was young. But I wasn't strong enough then. A 10+++++ for its emotional content, honesty, bravery and courage, and for how it is written. Thank you for sharing. Love & hugs, Barbara

I like this, but your parents are part of your life and you'd be smart to keep them in it if they're at all worth it: 3
