Let Me Be

I just have one thing to say,
Let me be.
Honestly, every time I turn, you're right there.
Well, almost every time.
You're not there when you need to be.
Sometimes I wonder how you think.
For so long you push me away,
Then you get upset when I'm not close to you.
Let me be.
If you're not going to be a parent, go away.
You have NO idea how hard it is
To have your parent on top of you
A parent who tells you all the time that life isn't fair.
You just don't get it, you just can't see,
This whole time it's been you pushing me.
Let me be.
Find someone else to take your anger out on.
I'm so sick of being verbally abused.
Why don't you relax?!
Life isn't fair as you constantly tell me,
Could you walk the walk instead of a hypocrite?
You just don't get how stressful my life is too.
Let me be.
The thing is, you don't even know me.
Constantly you act like I'm evil,
But you never take the time to really get to know me.
When you try, you yell & demand I let you in.
Just take a break, count to ten
Start this whole thing over,
Let me be.
I want to forgive you, for all the hateful things you've said,
But it just gets harder
You have no idea what it's like to be me.
Don't pretend to know me & let me be.
