Why are they always on my case,
Trying to tell me what to do run my life.

Did I not earn the chance to stand on my own,
Take to what path I want, walk it alone.

What gives them the right to try and control me,
To decide for me what I ought to think and see.

When I do stand up and take to what is mine,
What gives them the right to say I crossed the line.

Trying to persuade me my beliefs are lies,
Never willing to take note or compromise.

They class me as someone who is condemned,
Thinking they are better and I’m beneath them.

But I have been at the top stood where they now stand,
I chose to step off and I make no demands.

I gave up all they now hold and believe to be dear,
It was my choice to walk, to leave the way clear.

I made my mind up long ago,
I left behind all that I know.

I have no love or time for the pettiness,
For me there is nothing at all in there worthlessness.

But others can’t see and this is a worry,
Day by day they come to me.

With there whispers and better than you attitude,
And indoctrination change and nothing of value.


But I’m stronger than that, I see they don’t understand,
For they don’t have long till there time comes to disband.

They just don’t comprehend that life is to short to live by a lie,
I hope that one day they realize that before the time comes for them to
die.

How dare they think they can tell me so,
Who the hell gave them the right to have a go.

They dare to cross me and try to force my hand,
Me who has seen all that they think they now understand.

So they feel the need to control what I do,
To put me down just to help them grow.

Of all the people they choose,
A mistake for them this I’ll show.

For I have been there among the top,
But unlike them I choose to step off.
