live life to the fullest And do what makes you happy!!!!


In this room all alone
Which path will I choose to be my own
So many doors here to roam
Oh my how much I have grown

Its time to choose my life’s path
I just want to stop and take a bath
But even a bath cant cool my wrath
What should I do for my life’s path

This is serious I can not make a mistake
I cannot choose like a blind snake
I’m looking around wide awake
This is not a decision I can remake

There is nothing more important than my future
I will not grow to be a moocher
I will grow tall with a lot of posture
Nice and tall as taught in my culture

You can no longer hold me back
I know that my future is no longer black
I no longer have anxiety attacks
I will sit back and I will never crack

Not for you, you cant bring me down without a sound
Not for long will I be around
I stand with both my feet on solid ground
and I find myself no longer bound

Now I am tall and strong
While I sing you my song
I have found were I belong
and I wish you can come along

Now that I am all done
I have no reason to be scared of being shunned
All I will do is run
With my dreams because my story has only just begun
