Don't tell me not to whine,
You don't understand my story.
Why can't I have the freedom to whine,
abide so many other freedoms and goodness already taken away from me?

Don't tell me don't cry.
I just want to cry.
God gave me this privilege,
to handle my downside days.

Don't tell me don't,
because its my only privilege.
I have many taken away from me,
I have nothing to offer besides sobs.

Please don't tell me don'ts,
I have enough of them in my lives.
I can't even have the right,
to end my own life.

Don't tell me don't.
I have many don'ts and can'ts already.
