Don't tell me what to do <br />to gain acceptance from others <br />Don't ask me to pretend <br />to be someone else <br />for my own sake... <br />Don't offer me your strategies <br />to get this guy to like me. <br /> <br />Your strategies are worthless to me <br />Your criticism leaves me indifferent <br />I don't need your patronizing <br />Keep your advice to yourself <br /> <br />I don't do things to be likeable <br />I just do things for myself <br /> <br />Do you think I care <br />what he thinks of me? <br />Do you think I care <br />if he likes me? <br />Do you think I'm afraid <br />of his rejection? <br /> <br />Well, think again! <br /> <br />I've been too good for too long <br />Enough! <br />It's time to clean house <br />To toss the bossy ones in the trash <br />To bury the dead six feet under <br />To burn their papers <br />To cut through their pictures <br />To delet their files <br />To turn the page.<br /><br />CeCe Lamberts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-do-you-like-me-now/
