Ocean Breeze

Why should I change? If you asked the ocean to change it's tide for you, would it do just that?

Then why should you ask me to change the way I speak, or the way I dance or dress.

If you asked the wind to howl through the canyons, would it follow your orders?

Why should you try to change and mold me into things I'm not.

Why ask the sky for rain in a drought to rain and receive something that you hoped for.

I came here by chance and luck, I am who I am because I do what I love.

I act the way I want to. 

The people I see everyday don't have a voice and I want to give you the courage to stand up for yourself.

To stay true to yourself and not be someone's puppet.

Don't do the dirty work of others and do what you love in life, not what takes your time away.

Exactly. We cannot be dictated by someone on how we lead our lives. All the inhabitants of this earth came here by chance, and all of us have the right to spend our stay on this planet just the way we want. Others may mislead us, though I will rule out the possibility of every piece of advice being just a mere statement to mislead us. Sometimes, we must listen to what others say- everyone has some well-wishers, but submitting to any person is not the way to live. Well-penned. Keep writing.
