Let Me Be

Just let me live my life.
I’m not hurting anyone.
Why do I have to pay a price,
because of the person I’ve become?

I don’t treat you differently,
because of what you believe in,
yet you insist on tormenting me,
because of your insecurities within.

Your judgements always stand pending,
awaiting their release,
searching for a victim,
never met with peace.

No one deserves this treatment,
and I’m not as different as you concieve,
but I’m sick of dealing with your resentments,
because you’re just too damn naive.

You’ll never do what’s right,
and You’ll never going to see,
so just go on with your ignorant life,
and fucking let me be!
