Greatness
Is there something else to this life that I am living?
All I desire is to feel self-fulfilled.
And yet I would,
if I were free to follow my desire in the harsh light of day.
But, I am not.
I feel like a puppet,
Forced to do only what others expect of me,
Driven by the fear of disappointing those I love.
But it will never be good enough.
How long will this pupper show continue?
At night I am kept awake by the regret I feel.
I fall asleep to the thought:
"I would have been good...I would have been great."
From now on,
it will be different.
From now on,
I will walk my own path.
From now on,
I will define who I am.
From now on,
I WILL be great.
And it will be awesome.
