Let me be.
I don't understand
your definitions
I have my own.
I'm not in your race
I have my own pace
I have my own scale
for success
I don't need to prove
what I'm made of
As long as I know.
I don't want to trample my way
to some-unknown-where
Chase someone else's dreams.
I have many of my own
Some which I shall fulfil
others which I shall not
for they are more beautiful
left as dreams.
I'll make the most
of what I have
Give my everything
for that which I believe
Play the game
Win without shame
Live this life
not cynical, not jaded.
And I must try
to live every moment
every emotion
without escaping.
To make it worthwhile.
