PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

And when we’re born, we wake.
Thrown into a world filled with lies and mistakes.
We take our first steps setting the road we will take.
We grow up laughing and learning how to love.
Enjoying life for however long God has gave.

We make our way into school,
Making friends, learning our way.
We’re taught to try our best,
our skills always being put to the test.
Told that making money is the key to life’s success.
Always struggling to try and figure out what is best.

I’ve been pushed and pulled,
gone to Hell and back.
Trying to stay on this beaten down path.
I did my best but this isn’t the life that I have made.
I do what I want with my happiness put first.
I’m as carefree as I’ll ever be
because I’m gonna live life exactly how it’s meant to be .

Most of us leave school
all ambitious to reveal what the future has to hold.
I will venture off ready to write my story yet untold.
I will stray from the beaten path,
venture out and accept my past.
I won’t run from fear,
I won’t let money control my happiness at all.

We work hard all our lives;
never truly unleashing the adventurer we have inside.
Always told to be smart and do what’s right;
but what’s “right” isn’t what’s going to make me happy inside.

I’ve been pushed and pulled,
gone to Hell and back.
Trying to stay on this one way path,
I did my best but this isn’t the life that I have made.
I do what I want with my happiness put first.
I’m as carefree as I’ll ever be because I’m gonna live life exactly how it’s meant to be.

I’ll live the life that I want,
won’t follow the majority Ill be my own minority.
Ill run free, not bound to society’s ways.
I’m done listening to the do’s and dont’s that the people make.
You can be who you want,
see what you like,
do as you please,
and as long as you’re happy you will always be free.
