Your excuse

I don't need rules deciphering
Difference in wrong from right
I don't need fools demanding i
Obey the law and to just abide
Telling me how to live my life

I don't need you
telling me what to do
Telling me to
Follow all your rules
What's your excuse

What makes you so unusual
You can be so cruel and untrue
What makes you so exceptional
You can cross a line you drew
I know the difference, I don't need to

I don't need you
Telling me what to do
Telling me to
Follow all your rules
What's your excuse

Just simply because
you got more loot
That you believe this defines
difference between me and you
This may be true, your actions
make a fat statement too

I still don't need you
Telling me what to do
Telling me to
follow all your rules
I know what is wrong
I can see your untrue

I won't follow your rules
I wont abide by you fools
Your word are hollow and untrue
I will not follow through
I will not do what you tell me too

I don't need you
Telling to what do
Don't need you
Telling me what is untrue
I see it all through
I don't need you
Telling me what to do

Thank you. I'll have to re edit it. See of I cant maybe change it up so it doesn't sound so much like that.

I'm sorry, I had to laugh when I read this.

It reads like a teenage kid having a tantrum. I'm sure that's not the impression you were trying to create, but that is how it came across to me.

There is too much repetition of the 'you can't tell me what to do' refrain and theme to be able to take the poem seriously. You do not offer the reader any alternative to not following societal rules, leaving us in a limbo of wondering what it is you are railing against anyway? It's alright to protest against the strictures of rules and regulations IF you have a credible alternative...

A good, if somewhat confused, effort nonetheless...

Its not so much that I don't follow laws or rules. I will do so. Just have a problem with them being enforced and demanded. Yet because the got the all that money its suddenly okay for them to cross those lines. They can but we can't.
