Who Says

NOW/here

Who says that I define you?
Who says I should label you?
Who says I should shelter you? Who says i should restrict you?
Who says I should limit you? Who says i should hold back you?

There is no user guide.
There is no yellow brick road.
There is no handbook for life.
There is no crystal ball.

Who says I should restrain you?
Who says I should confine you?
Who says I should punish you? Who says i should oppress you?
Who says I should coerce you? Who says i should force you?

I want you to find your own way.
Not just to do what I say.
You’ll learn so much quicker that way.

I can try to counsel you, lead you.
I can try to mentor you, teach you.

Don’t distort my opinion as Fact.
Don’t accept my assumptions as your own.
Don’t mistake my reality for yours.
Don’t confuse my experience for Truth.

I can try to guide you… to guide you…
