The Thoughts, Feelings, The Life Of Sweetness

My Life

Why can't people understand me?
Why can't they respect the way I live my life?
It's my decision what I want to be.
Is having choices now a crime?
If I wanted to be a nun, I could
for my life is mine.
Why does my family question me?
When I say I don't want to get married.
They say that they care,
but they just criticize and stare.
Words on paper don't mean commitment.
It takes a lot for me to fall in love.
They will just have to accept and understand,
In my heart I will always trust.

I want to live my life for me
Don't need a man to live for
or stand by my side.
I want to achieve all my goals and dreams,
on my own without help.
I want to do this all before I die.
But if one day a decent man
would walk into my life,
believe me I would be glad
if love we were meant to find.
All I ask from my family is to understand
to just respect my life.
Don't question what I do,
these decisions are only mine.
In my heart I trust the truth
It's my choice how I want to live my life.
