Let Me Be Poem by Bamisaye Adeniran

Am I not old enough?
I can decide for myself
What is right to do
Let me be.

All I need is your advice
Not to be compelled
I’m man enough
Let me be.

As they say;
A fool at forty
A fool forever
Don’t want to be another.

Enough of complains
I need to work on myself
I need to become a better person
The envy of all.

I’m not here to please you
I’m here for a purpose
A task has to be fulfilled
Just let me be.

I don’t mean to be rude
I’ve always respected you
‘cos I owe you so much
But please I beg of you, let me be…
