Just Be Poem by Phil Panebianco

Why can't you just let me be?
Let me make my own decisions, my own choices.
Even my own mistakes.
When will you stop worrying?
Stop being scared to let me be my own person.
Let me venture out into this crazy world and let me draw my own conclusions.
Let me decide who I am and where I stand in society.
Allow me to judge peoples real intentions, their real motives.
I don't want to be sheltered or protected.
I want to learn from my actions, from my thoughts.
I want to experience everything life has to offer.
Just let me be, just let me out.
