What Business is it to you?

Riding in a car,
On the way to school,
You try to play me like a fool.

After 18 years you decide to be a father,
Only after you've realized we barley have a mother!

We've grown up ourselves,
Taken care of ourselves,
And built a life by ourselves.

Now, after 18 years you decide to judge me?
After 18 years you decide to tell me what to do?
Who to talk to,
Where to go,
And what I can and can not do?!

Well... you're too late!
After 18 years,
I have chosen my own friends,
Adapted to you and my mothers absence,
Raised my self from a kid,
Achieved all I could just to try and make you proud,
To try and make you see,
To maybe get a word,
Just a bit of recognition,
But instead,
All I get is negativity,
That I'm not good enough,
That I was your biggest mistake.

I studied hard just to please you,
Kept my grades up,
And gave back to the community,
Was recognized by NASA when I was only 13,
And have a 4.0 GPA,
But NO!
That's still not good enough.

I get a scholarship away from here,
A dream I've worked so hard to achieve,
And in a moment you crushed my dreams without a though,
You told me NO!
And I didn’t argue,
Friends you tell me not to be with,
I don't complain,
I fall in love,
And am so happy, I just wish that you could share my joy,
To see just a fraction of my world,
And you tell me never to see him again!

You crush me bit by bit,
I stand still and let you!

I can't take it anymore,
Can't stand it,
Won't stand it,
After 18 years,
I've had enough,
You were never there,
And now you come and judge!

No, not anymore!
What business is it to you when you were never there?
What business is it to you when you never cared?
Your 18 years too late,
And guess what?
I'm all grown up!

I was quiet and obedient,
Now I'm just going to be ME!

The daughter you never knew,
The daughter you never cared to know!

The girl who sat in a corner reading a book,
The girl who created her own world to escape yours,
The girl who was always quiet and did'nt have many friends,
The girl who often went to school with eyes puffy from crying herself to sleep,
The girl who loved science but gave up her dream for her fathers approval,
The girl who worked so hard only to be crushed by your words,
The girl who sits in a dark lonely corner hiding away from the world,
The girl who no longer believes in life for all it does is disappoint her!

But alas what business is it to you?
Either of you!

I will live my life,
I will be myself,
And no longer will I allow you to control me,
You shall not live this life!
I shall,
So what business is it to you?!
