Live Like How You Want It

I don't dream about someone rescues me I don't believe in who rescues whom I believe life is what you make it What is life anyway? Life is doing what you want when you want it Life is going after what you want and always get it It's a balancing act You don't want to do too much of one thing and not the other It's paying attention to the ones you deem important and not so much with the others It's doing what makes you happy Whether it's helping someone or write a poem Doing what you enjoy is important Now don't go about having sex all night haha If that's what makes you happy, who cares? It's about tomorrow but have it today Don't wait till tomorrow It's live like how you want it Don't let anyone say you can't have it No one makes the rule for you You make your own rules It's being true to yourself Whether it's a feeling, a statement, thought Don't deny it The minute you deny it You will see it will come back in another way and tear you apart So let it out Deal with it Go on Life is so worth living Striving for The one you are waiting for is waiting for you Come to it With open arms Embrace it Take it all in Go on my friend Life is whoa Surprise you Aren't you glad it comes to you Abundantly and without reservation? You shouldn't be too No reservation okay? Say it Inspired by reading Dave Wood's "Bicycle" and "Lucky Girl" poems. Don't be too proud, Dave :)
