My life

My life is my life
It’s not yours so I can’t do what you want me to do 
I have to live for me and live my dreams
Who knows when I’ll take my last breath?
I want my life to be full of dreams and success 
I might come off mean but I’m doing the best I can
I can’t allow anyone to change the route I have for myself
Life can be hard and sometimes people make it harder
I have to find a way to work smarter
You think they love you but then they eventually show they only wanted to use you
They never cared about you 
I’m always going to make myself my number one priority 
These men don’t love me
My life is my life
I’m going to be alright
I make the decisions for myself because all I got is myself
