Only Growth, Only Forward

Do not try to tell me what to do if you have no clue. 

Do not hope to be my someone special because you are not the one. 

Do not try to get any closer than the space I spare for you,

 because that would be the closest distance I can bear to be near someone who doesn't deserve me.

I am a single mother,

I have no time for a giant leap,

to move backwards.
