Just Let Me Be Poem by Erica Buenrostro

Keep your words out of my mouth,
I am my own person,
What made you think you have a say in my life,
If I make mistakes,
Its my own fault,
Stay out,

Just Leave me be,
Cant you see I just want to be ME,
No matter what you say,
Ill still make my OWN mistakes,
Even if I end up in a cry,
It will all be on me.

My throught is tired of screaming,
My ears are tired of hearing,
All these things you tell me,
I already know,
Just leave me be,
Get on with the show,

You don’t truly know how I feel,
You will never know,
Its impossible for anyone to ever know,
What goes on in my head,

I try to let out my feelings,
But you people always turn things around,
Don’t you see im trying to form the me inside,
To show who I truly am,
Who doesn’t get that,
I cant imagine,

My throught is tired of screaming,
My ears are tired of hearing,
All these things you tell me,
I already know,
Just leave me be,
Get on with the show,

If I could I would let you see threw my eyes,
How everything is to me,
All my thoughts and feelings,
I want them to be free,
Unlock the cage I have them all in,

My throught is tired of screaming,
My ears are tired of hearing,
All these things you tell me,
I already know,
Just leave me be,
Get on with the show,

I already know,
How you feel about the things I do,
The things I say,
Would u please,
Let me make my own way,
Let me be who I am,
Let me be me.
