Just Let Me Be

Let me laugh when I should cry
Smile when I should frown
Relax when I should be tense
Be calm when I should be stressed
Be nice when I should be nasty
Be patient when I’m close to losing it
Be loving with no reciprocation
Be there when I am not wanted
Breathe and live when I should die
Bud and bloom when by all accounts I should wither and fade
Be more not less
Rise when I should fall
Have hope and faith when let down, discouraged and desolate
Have a vision a dream to hold on, to see me through my trying moments
Just let me be
Coz life just too short
So let me laugh and have peace of mind for once
Just let me be
