150: Not Afraid to Fail

I see what you are
But I will not be
I am stronger than you
I am free to be me.

Keep your traditions and your rules
I am nobody’s silly fool
I’ll not live this life, your way
It’s not valid, for today.

I’ll dance my own steps
When fate knocks, I’ll say ‘Yes’
I’ll steer, my own course
This is my life, not yours.

If I err, I’ll admit it
I’m not afraid, to just quit it
My mistakes, are my own
Decisions made, full grown.

I need to know, I tried
Had my fill of life, before I die
Can’t live, apologising
Just working hard, never thriving.

I need challenges and excitement

Not just duty, until retirement
Then body failing, always raining
Never see anyone, mouth complaining.
