My path in life.
Why do people have to choose it for me?
I have to follow a road of prosperity;
I have to follow a road of fame.
Why can’t I just go along it my own way?
I can learn from falling and tripping on it.
I can learn to backtrack when I’m lost.
There are such variety of paths in life
And I have to be confined to one.
I am my own self, my own personality,
And I am responsible for the path I choose.
I choose a path with many obstacles on it,
So I can learn, by myself, how to get around them.
If along the path I go, it is darkened,
I can always look for a torch to light up my journey.
If along my path the way is severed by a gap,
I can always find a bridge to get to the other side.
I am mature enough to go my own destination,
In my own way.
Anyway, life for me seems to be too short.
I can’t listen to someone make my decisions for me,
I have to make the most of life;
And live it to the fullest.
I’ll be content even if I can’t make it to the end,
But at least I’ll know that I did my best to get there.
If I close my eyes now,
And visualize me going along my path,
I can guide myself through the signs and barriers
That point me to a different direction
It’s my path and I can choose it for myself.
