The one life we live

Its hard to lead the life you want to live and try to please everyone along the way. But you must remember in your life, the main person who should be happy, is you..

This is our life, 

and just because you hate it, 

doesn't mean were gonna change it, 

and just because you think I shouldn't, 

doesn't mean I ever wouldnt,

see the difference here, 

I live my life without fear, 

not even caring what you think, 

because the one life I live will be on my terms, 

never will I change me for the next person, 

and you should never have to strive, 

to be anyone but you tonight, 

this is your life, 

so don't waste it, 

opinions are great but you don't always have to take them...

I love the tone of this poem. It's bold, defiant and unapologetic.

You do a very good job of conveying a simple, yet powerful message; everyone has one life to lead and they should live it in accordance with their own desires/interests.

So glad you liked this one. It is very simple but I hope the message overpowers the simplicity of it.

Thanks for the review!

This poem to me feels like its about not caring what other people think of you.

[OhSnapShley]

You are correct. People tend to change themselves to accommodate others and no one should ever have to do that.

I agree with you.
