Stop Pushing Me

I don’t like to be pushed to do anything

Only for your benefit, and what you think benefits me

Again it's my life let me choose

Why fear that my life will leads to the streets

Or jail

Just because I failed at one thing

I have a talent that can turn into something

People with talent don’t go hungry

Again with your fears

Your negative worries

What is up, why are you comparing me to all these drugy stories

You asked me if I smoked weed

Like you don't have me locked up in this house

I asked you to do one thing for me

That could lead to freedom

You told me get a job, like I haven't been applying

Like I only got two degrees just to do it

But I’m the one who needs Jesus

Who needs uplifting

But in my mind I have no negativity

In my mind I don't worried

He told me He got me

Just because you don't see it and you didn't hear it

Dosen’t mean you should make me beg Him for answers you want

I got my answer, my answer was to wait

Maybe this isn't a lesson for me but for you

I'm good,

Learn how to be good with me

And stop pushing me

You becoming a peace stealer

A joy killer
