1. Let me make my own mistakes Give me a chance And raise the stakes Give me back my own bad thought And even the devil and angel fought So let me wipe my conscience clear And make my worries disappear Let me study my bad judgment Allow me to learn And although I respect your concern I want to try this alone I accept encouragement I accept advice But if you keep on commanding meI really won’t think twice I am a bit naïve But I’m not easy to deceive I wish you could believe That I can teach myself Trust me to make good choices Even if I’m still young And let me learn my lesson While having a bit of fun I know you like to lead me But let me lead myself Don’t keep me forever locked inside Don’t put me on a shelf I love you both I hope you know Even if sometimes it doesn’t show Its still in there forever I wish you would consider Because this is hard core proof The poem was expression; The poem was expression And yes it was read out loud But I was only helping It wasn’t meant for me Rest easier at night He is an awesome friend So let breath in and out again And put the fighting to an end
