Living a Lifetime

Scared of hurting others Compliant to the core Seeking the approval I found it such a chore Standards set in stone Because of goals unmoving That is not for me I don’t need approving I know right from wrong In me, I place the faith And even when I screw things up I look them in the face At least I’m ever chancing My eyes are wide open I am not afraid to speak Of times I have been broken Not afraid to feel my pain It’s almost like a pleasure Making scars into my life And memories I can treasure And when I pass on through A life time I’ll have lived No regrets or punishments Understanding what I did
