Far From It
From day one there were so many expectations of me
I was to pave the path, show how to act, to behave
For awhile I did
Every decision I made was based on how others would feel, look at me
I've decided I can't do it anymore
I can't live up to it all
None of it is right
I have to be me and make the decisions I want to, regardless of the effects they may have
I'll admit most of them may not go over well and I may regret them but eventually I will
learn
