A Space of My Own

All that I ask for,
Is a space of my own.
All that I ask for,
Is to be left alone

If you can't understand me,
At least ignore me .
But don't, under the pretence
Try to stifle me.

I am sorry but I can't be,
What you want me to be
But that is way I am
That defines me as 'me.'

I feel indignant,
That being so close to me,
You chose to misunderstand,
May be intentionally?

I need this space -
This space of my own.
I am sorry but you can't,
Join me in this sojourn.

Hope you understand,
And bid an adieu.
That will be,
The best thing to do.
