my response to HollyShort4723's Self Expression.
Mother, I'm different, so can't you relax
I'm a brand new creation, not a doll made of wax.
I'm not yours to change, to "fix," to "mend,"
I'm my own kind of person, not the kind to pretend,
That I'm perfect, or Godly, or never screw up,
So give me a chance to do my own stuff.
I'll show you, it's worth it, to just leave me be,
I'll grow up, I know it, so please...believe.

Self Expression was inspired by Kelly Clarkson's song "Mr. Know It All." You can guess what it's about. Basically, a poetic rant about how this guy is insisting on making this girl change into someone she's not. Mine is obviously about my mother.
