Please.
Please, understand.
I am my own person.
I can make my own decisions,
And I control my life.My life is not yours.
You do not get to decide how I live or when I die.
You do not get to decide who I am or who I date.
You do not decide what I become or where I end up.My life is my decisions- both small and large.
Every accomplishments I have made and every goal I fall short of -
All of these add up to create the unique life I live.Because, my life is my own.
It is not my friend's nor my parent's.
It is not my teacher's nor my colleague's.
It is purely my own - unique to me in all of it's odd wonder.And I will live it.
I will enjoy each electrifying second of it.
I will not waste the life I have worked so hard to achieve,
Nor throw it away for someone who doesn't care about my dreams.I will embrace life and run the good race we are always told about as children.
I will accomplish my goals, climb my mountains, and be myself - no matter the obstacles.
I will not cower under someone else's command for I am my own person, and I can.
