What did I miss?

Of all the people
who disrupt my system,
the ones who want to "save" me
do the most damage.

You know the kind...
The ones who will now 
"take over"
because they know better.

Well, maybe they do 
for their own life,
but for mine?

Wait a minute.
We're talking about
MY life now...

What makes anyone
suddenly
an expert on me?

How can "love"
at such a price
make me happy?

Is there something else involved
that I just don't see?

What did I miss?
