Why?
Why do I have to have a reason?
For not liking someone
For not liking something
Have I committed some kind of treason?
Is it in or out of season?
Why does the world care so much?
About what I do or don’t like
Just let me live
Maybe I’m just tired
Tired of all the social hierarchy
Tired of competing over nothing I’m keeping
Weeping for something that won’t matter in a decade
Just leave me alone
Let me go home
To the things I care about
The people that will be there for me
Why do you care who I spend time with?
It’s my time not yours
You want to be bored
Or miserable with your situation
That’s fine. It’s your time
But don’t yuck mine

Sometimes it just is what it is & there's nothing you can do about it. And why should you, unless of course, you're causing real harm?
