Many Ways To Live

I have lived this life in many ways
walked the pathway less traveled
I've seen the tracks & footprints of other men
sometimes I chose not be who I am
to live on another man's vine
life is a collective scheme
I let the visionaries guide the way
it turned me into a stranger when I look close
I followed the pathway of drunk libertines
now they are ghosts on the crowded steets of my mind
now places I used to walk come back to me in scenes
when I am working at my desk
people and places come back to me in scenes
life is a collective scheme
I let people and things change and define me
a freethinker since I changed
I know how to be alone
working on my self-esteem
realistic respect for or favorable impression
I am the oneself,myself and the reality of me
patiently I sit through a nicotine fit
with fortitude and calm I know I belong
I am not born to smoke
I hate trendy things
like going along with the crowd
I've lived that way too
t-shirts & baseball caps that say nothing important
it's only now that I realize my individuality
and my personal nature is soo important
enough to believe in the reality of me
I've taken the road to recovery
I've taken the responsibility for me
my mental health
how I see myself in this light
I ride on the winds of change
I feel I will be alright
endless revisions
and hard decisions
make me who I am
acceptance & approval
of myself
how I want to live
making it easy to love me
how I want to live
to give my love in return
how I want to live
