The You I Once Knew.

If I am happy with what I do, why does that concern you?
I may like labels and pretty things.
I may enjoy travelling to a faraway place.
You choose to remain in your constant hazy headspace.
Please tell me who is going to waste away?  
Why can’t you accept me and how I choose to live?
If I allow you to do what you do, why can’t you just let me be?
Even if it hurts me to see this happen, I don’t complain.
I shut my mouth.
But, you challenged me with your words.
My expectations in life were too high for you to meet.  
I was never happy, satisfied nor complete?
I said that all I wanted was for you to come out from behind your mask.
Come down to me from your high clouds of smoke.
All I ever desired was to be with you.
Not the new you, but the old you.
The you I once knew.
