Gotta save you

'Gotta save you' I hear you, worry for me, all the time.
'Spare me' I wish to say
'Too old to play, settle down' you say
'Am too young to listen, loosen up' I think.

You say, I listen...
Believing you, time and again..
Even though you think it's a charade

I think, may be hope..
To let my voice be heard..
Even when I know you won't believe me, enough to trust me with my own life..

Am a rebel with out a cause..
But am not left with a choice..
For, you sympathize..
Without empathy
How can you?
When you can't even understand,what's it to be me
For you never lived my life..
Don't try too..
Because you got your own to..

Let me live mine..
By allowing me to make it on my own..
For, that's how I will learn..
May be I will regret.
But I won't forget..
How you allowed me to build my life..

Too proud to listen..
Yes, I am. Unapologetically.
For, I prefer to be a failure, by my own choice..
Than to be a story, worthy of success, defined by you.

Struggle as i might,
As every word you speak out love,
Hurts me more and more..
Being just like you and fight,
with others, to try save them from themselves,
is what I did all these years.

'Till I saw two sides of same story..
None wrong, neither right..
Fighting and being a slave to the emotions,
As light as the passing clouds,
And, as heavy as the universe.
