Please.
Please, understand.
I am my own person.
I can make my own decisions,
And I control my life.
My life is not yours.
You do not get to decide how I live or when I die.
You do not get to decide who I am or who I date.
You do not decide what I become or where I end up.
My life is my decisions- both small and large.
Every accomplishments I have made and every goal I fall short of -
All of these add up to create the unique life I live.
Because, my life is my own.
It is not my friend's nor my parent's.
It is not my teacher's nor my colleague's.
It is purely my own - unique to me in all of it's odd wonder.
And I will live it.
I will enjoy each electrifying second of it.
I will not waste the life I have worked so hard to achieve,
Nor throw it away for someone who doesn't care about my dreams.
I will embrace life and run the good race we are always told about as children.
I will accomplish my goals, climb my mountains, and be myself - no matter the obstacles.
I will not cower under someone else's command for I am my own person, and I can.
