My Way

"Follow a different path"
"Walk down a new road"
You do the math
I don't do what I'm told

I'm done following 
Anyway highway or street
I am done wallowing
I'm over the grief

Don't tell me go a different way
I won't follow blindly once again
I'll find my on words to say
I'm getting a life worth livin'





Sometimes, you have to take the reins, and be in control of your own life, don't follow an old path, pave a new 
one.
