You can’t be in my space

Yea I said it.

I don’t want you in my space!

Your energy does me no good

And I only fuck with people that fuck with me

So you need to get the fuck out of my space

I can handle the negativity

The naysaying

The stank attitude

Even the sly comments

But I don’t have to and furthermore, I don’t want to

So please do us both a favor

And cast your energy elsewhere

Because MY Joy doesn’t belong to you

Is not made up of you

Is not owned by you

And neither is my anger

So this is the last time I will politely tell you

You can’t be in my space

Because MY space is for me!
