Not Your Life

But My Decision

Mind tainted by your words

Decisions are made with your echo whispers

Just let me be me

Because my life is not your life

Didn't ask for your opinion

So please don't fight me on my decision

No need for the attitude

And the harsh words

With the decision I made

Your words hunt me

Because the hurt me

You call it helping me

But don't see the strain it put on our relationship

You call it love

I call it manipulation

To make me do life the way you want me to do

So I will be spending my own money the way I want to

For my peace

For my freedom

For my sanity
