It's my life, <br />It's not yours to live, <br />It's my choice, <br />It's not yours to pick. <br /> <br />It's my instinct, <br />It's not yours to feel, <br />It's my goal, <br />it's not yours to achieve. <br /> <br />It's my education, <br />It's not yours to learn, <br />It's my dreams, <br />It's not yours to chase. <br /> <br />Have an opinion, <br />But, I won't agree to it. <br />Have a say, <br />But I won't do it. <br /> <br />Just be there, <br />Or go away, <br />Just support me, <br />Or don't give a damn. <br /> <br />It's my life, <br />It's not yours to control, <br />It's my choice, <br />It's not yours to judge. <br /> <br />It's my instinct, <br />It's not yours to listen, <br />It's my goal, <br />It's not yours to succeed. <br /> <br />It's my education, <br />It's not yours to complete, <br />It's my dreams, <br />It's not yours to manage. <br /> <br />Have a go, <br />But, I won't surrender, <br />Have a thought, <br />But, I won't ask for it. <br /> <br />Just be there, <br />Or don't be, <br />Just support me, <br />Or don't at all, <br />I wouldn't care.<br /><br />Eva Pearl Frost<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-is-my-life/
