Let Me Learn

so you said this and i did that 
i did it wrong 
you call me stupid 
you yell at me 
and scream at me
and then wonder why i don't listen
you try to run my life 
you try to make everything right
you try to make sure i never mess up
you try to make sure i never get hurt
but you don't understand 
i need to be me
i need to learn 
i want to mess up
i want to make a mistake
please just let me learn
on my own
