Why?

Why do we conform?
Why do we want to be someone else?
Why does our destiny have to be written?
Why can’t we write our own story?

Why can’t we make our life ours?
We can, if only we want to
If only we fight for what we want
If we fight to stay as who we are

To live as ourselves
Is to respect ourselves
To know that we are important
To know that we can make a difference

To live is to love
To love someone is to be kind
To love yourself is the goal
To love yourself is to love the earth

Life is what you make of it
So make a difference today
Make a change in others
Make a change in yourself

You control the life you live
You control the story
Will yours be of sorrow?
Or will yours be of joy?
