Miss Independent

she says she's fine on her own
that she doesn't need anyone around
trying to live life
as miss independent

she doesn't listen
or take advice
because she thinks
it makes her look weak

she lets in all the sugar-coaters
who leaves as soon as dawn sets in
pushes out anyone
willing to grow old with her

then every night
when she goes to bed
with no one to
comfort or talk to her

she starts to doubt
what she says
but too stubborn to admit
she puts up a face

so she goes on
living alone
just because
she wants to be miss independent
