Cut Me Loose

The choices I made whether good or bad
I made them on my own free will
Mine alone
Maybe I'm too young and naive to make 
 wild choices but I'm exploring my life
Maybe I do care what others think
 because like you I'm made with one heart
Maybe I don't like to hear the negative and 
 false critics others are spreading 
 because like you I'm made with feelings
Maybe you don't know what I am going thru 
 because you're far from knowing me 
So cut me loose and judge me less
Maybe you need to take a step back if not 
 minding your own life's affair and inspire me 
 instead
Maybe the choices I made were all for one 
 particular reason... I just want to live life
Because who wouldn't - One life to live baby
Yesterday, today and tomorrow 
Was, is and will always be... My life, my choices 
 and my journey
So cut me loose here, will you
Maybe Sometimes I do need an advice 
 and knowledge here and there on some critical 
 aspects of life that I don't quite understand
And I will seek from the wise ones, mind you
Maybe whatever comes to be about into my life 
 is meant for, and I'll accept as it will be
So sit back relax and ride your own journey
The less you consider me to be your top topic 
 everyday, the better for sure
So cut me loose... Smile!

An impressive slam but with no hard feelings included, Akkina:) Like you, I wish more people minded their own business and stopped gossiping about others; we are wise (and in my case, old) enough to ask for advice if the need arose! Smiles & hugs // paul

Curiously, what if someone thought they were in love with you, would you feel the same way? I see what you are saying and I agree. I'm just a curious fellow:) You are a carefree spirit. Whoever earns your attention better watch out. You might just love them to death:)

This was basically about these women that can't stop nagging/criticizing me because I'm too thin and I happen to love fashions... Lol!

This is definitely spoken with much truth. I love the theme, worry about yourself and let me worry about me. Nicely expressed Akkina.

Heheh... It gets very tiring after awhile you know. Sometimes you just need to be able to do things the way you see fit to your happiness, and yet can't enjoy it because others are minding you. Lol!
