They’re My Them
By Clarice 5/11/08

They push me down
They pull me up
Is this what they’re
Supposed to do?
Cuz it hurts me inside.

They talk of what
They should do with me
Without consulting me
I’m not a baby anymore
Can’t they understand that?

They criticize my boyfriend
And the things we do wrong
Rarely ever do they support us
They’re always pushing us into the dirt
Can’t they see they’re stressing us?

They blame my sorrows
All on him before talking to me
When usually he’s just trying to help
It’s not always his fault, no, no, no,
Can’t they see they’re to blame all the same?

So it’s time they step back
I’ve always held a strong head
That’s not going to change
Please, oh please, I pray they stop
Cuz they’re hurting me…
