To Keep This Smile on My Face

To Keep This Smile on My Face

A Poem by Bo Lanier

Well you say you only have my best interest at heart

But I'm not a child anymore and I don't need your

Tough love so you should just give it up

I'll do what I want even if it means breaking

Hell wide open, I don't need a big brother and the

Only father I call father is the one up above...

I'm not saying I don't appreciate your concern

But crash or burn I have to learn from my own

Mistakes, call me selfish but I'll do whatever it takes

To keep this smile on my face...

I understand where you're coming from but when

All is said and done I will do the right thing but

Until then you just need to leave me be, no I

Don’t need your tough love by no means and I

Refuse to feel like a prisoner let me make that

Perfectly clear, maybe it's the Aries in me but me

Have to be independent and free...

I'm not saying I don't appreciate your concern

But crash or burn I don't need your tough love

So give it up, just give it up, call me selfish but no

Matter what it takes I will do whatever it takes

To keep this smile, TO KEEP THIS SMILE ON MY

FACE!
