I Want To Live My Own Life

oh, how i wish she could see
that there's nothing wrong with me
the mother that brought me into this world
isn't happy with her little girl
but that little girl is all grown up now
and all she wonders is "why?"

why does everything have to turn into a fight?
why do we scream at eachother every night?
why is everything i do wrong?
why do i feel like i don't belong?
why do you hate the person i am?
why don't you like me for me?

i'm not depressed
i'm not antisocial
i'm not bipolar
i don't want to be sent to counseling
i don't want to talk to someone about my personal life
i don't want to be put on medication
so why am i being forced to do so?

i want to be in control of my life
not be controlled by medication
i want to be the person i want to be
not who you think i should be
i want to be able to make my own decisions
not the decisions you think are right for me

i want to live my own life!

Author notes

my mom is sending me to a counselor because she says i have problems. she says i act depressed, antisocial, and bipolar, and that i have anger problems. she thinks that just because i like to be alone in my room sometimes, because i can be moody sometimes, and because i get angered easily that that calls for a therapist to be brought into the picture along with medication to "even me out" as she likes to say. and on top of that, she's very controlling. she controls pretty much every aspect of my life. she's deciding where i go to college, who i date, where i go, with whom i hang out. everything that most children are allowed to decide on their own. it drives me nuts. so i guess this was just a little rant to try to get my feelings out there and off of my chest.

Please tell me what you think

    Extreme emotions!



    Very sad, honestly while I read this it kinda make me cry, I can relate and I can feel your pain
    Although I don’t know you but all I say/feel is there’s NOTHING wrong with you but its normal, and what’s counseling for ? Your fine!… some mom’s just wanna take too much control over there kids fearing they may go in the wrong direction yes they will do spy, but they might wont see/understand/agree on some things that their child feels…

    Carlie, I can feel your pain and what you’re going through right now, I hope you find yourself happiness and love to go along, Keep the faith, hope you have a nice time…


    i'll give you three of these poem vise

    I have been there, never really left. (always in my mind) I love how you expressed yourself. Well done. You should be allowed to live your own life. Don't let her take that away from you.
