Living Life Through Others by Melaricca Patton

You want the best for me?.....Cool

You want me to be successful?.....Cool

Is it for me or for you?

I'm not about to break the rules

Life is challenge 

God gave me this tool

Call me ignorant call me slow

You think I'm a fool

But I will not go

This life is created for me

I must acheive to be the best I can be

Living life through others is a costly fee

You will never be happy or free

You challenge me to succeed and hope I fall

But all through life I've been a lap dog

For MY happiness, for MY peace

I have to see a peace of mind 

Wondering the possibilities of who I am 

And who I'm trying to be

To make MY life inspiring using a big dream

Catch me in the future doing big things

Don't be jealous or start to hate

Only relate and congratulate

Of MY success that I can appreciate

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
