Defying Destiny

every life has a mission
some will rebel
others are meant for submission
only time will tell
      mine is to extract
      rhythm from my soul
      to rebel and attract
      the end result of my goal
to antagonize each spirit
into finding that groovy flow
revealing its unique merit
and its curious lovely glow
      each life is set upon a road
      but I chose to go astray
      because all truth be told
      we each need to go our own way

No need for a GPS, we'll find our own way. This is a telling piece my friend. No need following the beaten path, you'll beat one of your own. Nicely done Christy.
