Shut Up, World!

Image Source

I see myself in the mirror

Only I know the real me

Stop judging me you trespassers

All I need is to just let be

I am smart and work very hard

I also know to cook and clean

I will not bow down to conventions

Enough of this world I have seen

I shall dress the way I want

Being married doesn't mean I change

I shall continue to be what I am

My dreams are not bound by a range

There is no need for me to be like a man

I know my own strength and might

I do not need someone to tell me things

I know the difference between wrong and right

I choose what I do with my life

Nobody but me has a say in it

I might not be all sorted now

But I'm aware how the puzzle shall fit

I do not need praise or flattery

I know exactly who I am

Against the tide of others' venom

I'm the one who successfully swam

I've been through enough ups and downs

To understand how to lead a good life

Unwanted judgement shall only waste time

Cut that thought now, with a knife

I have loved, lost and loved again

But I did not give up on the feeling

People only have pointed fingers

No one was a part in my healing

I shall do whatever I want to

I will not listen to what anyone will say

My passions and desires are rooted deep

In every season I shall learn to make hay

I'm very happy in my own way

Made the best of whatever life hurled

I do not care what others think of me

So for now; just shut up, world
