Life Led By the Thoughts of Another
"Life led by the thoughts of another...can never be your own"
No matter the success you garner
You might just be another's clone
Life led by the thoughts of another.
You are wasting your life my brother
Let this today to you be known
You are drowning in mediocrity's water.
You allow your essence away be blown
The life you live is yours no longer
There is nothing worthwhile to gain in
Life led by the thoughts of another.
PS: Inspired by Carol Sunshine Brown's Monoku titled SELF (In double quote above)
Placed 5th in Richard Lamoureux's Pick A Line Any Line Poetry Contest.
