Creating My Life (A Shakespearian Sonnet)
The world gave me its thoughts about success,
Told me to get a job and make money.
From me the world expects not one thing less,
But what if this view is old and rusty?
I do not want to be chained to a desk;
Then how could I travel around the world?
Being a trapped employee sound grotesque;
To me I do not want my future hurled.
I will create a future that I love;
This creation is what inspires me
And motivates me to aspire above
The rest, this thought of at last being free.
I will not live my life clandestinely;
I am the master of my destiny.
