Leave Me Alone

My behavior is not always the best.

Sometimes you will find me yelling,

“Leave me alone.”

What is that?

As Sigmund Freud said,

every behavior has its origins

in our childhood.

I know I must earn on my own,

my family is not well-off enough,

to support all my dreams,

or offer a life of comfort.

But I can upskill, no worries there,

what I need is time and freedom,

So, I guard these fiercely.

Now, with little kids to care for,

my time has shrunk,

and responsibilities have multiplied.

I am constantly thinking,

I need time to earn,

but my time is so little,

The mismatch bothers me,

I find myself yelling,

“Leave me alone.”
