One Lifetime

One lifetime;

That is all I have.

One lifetime;

That may end at any moment.

One lifetime;

is all I have to make it count.

So who are you to tell me how to live;

to tell me who I am.;

 to tell me I am wrong;

to tell me I do not understand;

to tell me I cannot choose my career;

to tell me I have no sense of real-life.

Who are you;

to live my own life for me.

One lifetime;

is all I have.

One lifetime;

to find my purpose.

One lifetime;

to find happiness.

Who are you;

to take the only thing that is truly my own?
