Free Flow

Write from the heart 
Write from the soul 
Find your life’s purpose 
That is your only goal 
Is it though? Is it really? 
Doesn’t that all sound a bit dreary 
Writing from your heart is a good place to start 
Writing from your soul is a good goal 
But finding the purpose 
That seems complicated 
Searching for meaning seems a little outdated 
We are expected to have our lives together  
we are expected to shine through all sorts of weather 
Why can’t we be spontaneous and go with the flow? 
Life has many changes, situations come and go 
They tell you to have it all figured out and know just what to do 
Life can leave you feeling like you’re an animal in a zoo
Why do we let ourselves be put under so much pressure? 
Our minds are fragile little things 
We should handle them like treasure
Free your mind and understand that it’s never too late to walk a new road 
Life shouldn’t be about sticking to one certain code 
So dance in the rain and let your mind feel free 
Run in the fields of flowers and climb the biggest tree 
Change the job you have if it’s not making you content 
Scream into the rainy days let your lungs vent 
Embrace the good days you have but also embrace the bad 
Life is a journey, not a race don’t spend it being sad 
Don’t let people put pressure on you to be conditioned and know how to act
Stick to your guns, live your own life and have your own pact 
So write from the heart 
Write from the soul 
Everything else can wait 
remember if you need a change in life it is never to late
