Legacy

I'm not your legacy Or what other people say I didnt walk your path Or make the same mistakes Who you are does not define who I will be become Your growth may be finished But mine is far from done I've watched your life crumble Right before my eyes Trapped in your regret And swallowed by your lies We may share DNA Or be rooted from the same family tree And although we may share blood Your the person I describe When asked who I dont want to be In life I had to walk away Travel a different path Yet sometimes when people hear my name they think of you and laugh Society set my expectations Based on who you are They judged me as a bad person And set a low bar But like I've been saying You dont define who I will be I am my own person I'm not your legacy.
