Its Your Actions In Life That Define Who You Really Are

Don’t tell the tale if you don’t mean it

The truth will set you free if you can commit

Stand by your principles until you die

How can you ever live with a lie

Strive for perfection uphold your conviction

Don’t leave your story behind written in fiction

Live free and don’t be deceitful

You’ll have a black heart if you’re selfishly working an angle

Some words are strongly boasted from a far

But its your actions in life that define who you really are
