Suffocation

I need your support not your opinions.

I don’t owe you anything, not a damn thing

The only thing I owe you is a beating for clipping my wings

I thought that by listening to you, my sorrows would go away

But the only thing I truly forgot was how to fly away

Your love is suffocating, like being in a plastic bag

No matter what I ever do, you always seem to nag

You tell me you know what it best for me, since I am your very creation

But you see mom and dad; you are the very definition of deprivation

God made Adam and Eve, two souls alike

He told them what not to do, thinking he could solve their plight

But destiny definitely does put up a fight

That’s the very reason they were cast off into the night

I am my own person; I need to do what I want

I am the one making the mistakes; I am the one getting the scars.

So think twice before you take my happiness away

Because sooner or later I won’t even want to hear your names
