Who Said

WHo said my life had to be carved and painted and placed on display for all to see? That my actions would create a tornado and cyclone of disaster behind me That I had to mimic my ancestors course of history Instead of making my own masterpiece Who said that I would be doomed to trials and tribulations placed before me But I rose again and again standing tall and strong like an oak tree Didn't bother me when others turned me down bowing their heads in shame Yet I continued like the strong person I was meant to be Who said that everyone's blueprint was stamped loser or winner or rich or poor Only God can judge us once we've entered that door I placed my name card under determined strong minded and willing to try Knowing one day we will laugh smile frown and cry
