DON'T

Don't go left, you'll be to far. Don't go right, you'll be to close. Don't look ahead, you'll trail behind. If you hold my hand I'll just pull away. If you don't reach for my hand I'll feel unwanted. Don't look at me, I'll look away. If I don't catch you starring out of the corner of my eye, I won't feel beautiful. Don't tell my secrets, I won't keep yours. Don't tell me what to do, I'm not a child. But if you have any advice I'm willing to take it. I'll hit you because I know you won't hit me back. I'll hurt you because you tried to hurt me. Don't out-smart me, I'll make you look stupid. Don't give me rules, I'll work around them. Don't push, I'll shove. Don't say goodnight, I won't be there to say good-morning. Don't kiss me good-bye, I'll turn away.
