Take Charge

Forgive and forget,
that's what I'm always told.
Everyone will just sit,
and watch their life unfold.
No one speaking their mind,
or saying what they believe.
No one trying to find,
a way to get free.
I'm done being binded.
I'm gonna speak out.
We have all been blinded.
Its time to find what life's about.
I'm gonna go wild.
I'm gonna be crazy.
No more being quiet,
I'm gonna be Mazie.
I'm gonna take charge.
Its my life.
I'm the one at large.
My past will be revived.
My future is for me to start.
I'm not going to let someone
tear my life apart,
and I'm gonna have fun.
I'm in control.
I choose how my story's told.
I will not fold.
I choose how my life is unrolled.

You sound like someone who's going to venture out, take risks, and accept things as they happen. That's a good plan.

Wow, this is really well written and just screams of independence. I personally think it's motivational as well, and truthful too. Awesome write Mazie, and kudos!
