If You Aren't Paying My Bills (A Poem)

If you aren’t paying my bills

Please don’t tell me your opinion

Of how I’m living my life.

You don’t have a say in it. I’m not your minion.

If you aren’t paying my mortgage

Then I don’t care if you think my house is a mess.

It’s not here for display or for your approval.

It’s a home that is lived in and therefore is blessed.

If you aren’t contributing to my bank account

Then you have no say in how I spend my money.

I can go out to eat, give it to charity

Or use it to spoil my kids or my honey.

If you aren’t paying my bills

I don’t need you to contradict my decisions by saying “but.”

Just learn to mind your own business

And keep your mouth shut.
