My Life, is mine.

Location

I'm a puppet, controlled

by what I feel is

Wrong. That won't work,

my mind says. That is not a

career.

 

What is a career?

To assume

I won't be happy under the

Stage Lights

Is to condemn my fate.

To say

Don't through your mind

Away

Is to say I can't make my own mistakes.

 

Let me find my own happiness.

Let me be my own shepherd.

My Life, is mine.

 

Although I submit,

I do not commit myself to what I say

I will do

I say I will be happy

But I know...

I know

That my happiness will not come if

I am not true.

True to myself

True to capitol M-E.

Me.
