Box

Don't tie me in a box just let me be free Don't define me by definition just let me be me Don't compare me to others as I may not reach the bar Just let me be me and be who you are You may ask me to jump but I won't ask how high Stop trying to limit me, let me reach for the sky Please don't label me as you don't know my ingredients The criticizing you do, to be honest it hurts Don't lock me in a box and hide the key Let me live my life, just let me be me Stop looking at my faults as they don't define my personality Stop trying to mould me into your clone I'm not meant to be Stop trying to discourage me if its not in your plans Please don't tell me no, when I think I can Let me make mistakes without always feeling your wrath Let me walk along my own destined path Not the one you want or wanted to walk Please don't silence me when I need to talk Don't tie me in a box and shut the lid on tight Just let me be me and I think I will be alright Stop looking at me with disgust in your eyes Stop commenting when I fail, I can but only try Don’t always gloat when I'm wrong as I'm occasionally right Don't knock me down when I struggle to get strength to fight Let me live my life and let me be me Let me find my way in life and my final destiny You may ask me to come but I may not follow Please don't judge me and say my emotions are hollow Sometimes it is ok to think outside the box I'm in Sometimes its ok to lose, sometimes it ok to win

I used to know people that treated me this way. They became clutter and are no longer in my life. A very strong message here.
