Let Me Fail

Stop telling me what do.
There's a reason these are my assignments;
I need to figure them out.
I need to do them.

You're only trying to help,
But I've told you for years:
It's unhelpful,
It's counterproductive.

When you try to make me do something, I refuse
Because the whole point of growing up is
To figure out how to live, not
To have someone controlling your every move.

If you want me to succeed,
Let me think,
Let me experiment, and most of all,
Let me fail.
