Not for Me

Everyone keeps asking when 
I'll get married 
Settle down, have kids 
But that's not for me 
I say I won't do that, ever
Then they say I'll regret it 
They say I'm selfish 
Immature 
But honestly, I know that life 
isn't for me 
Without a doubt, I know 
it's not for me 
That's not my dream 
It's not my goal 
I'm a non-conformist 
I run from commitment 
I don't wanna be tied down 
I'd much rather have my freedom 
Live life on my terms 
Because isn't it my life?
Yeah, it's my life 
and I need to do what's right 
for me 
Live how I like 
Because that just might 
Help me sleep better at night 
It just might 
Help me be happy 
Spare the drama 
Reduce my anxiety 
Even just a little 
Could you just accept that 
Just because everyone else is complying 
with societal expectations,
I don't have to?
I don't and I won't 
Because it's not for me
