Can’t Walk My Own Line
There’s always someone trying to guide your life. In the end you have to walk your own line and not let anyone decide what that line is.
Can't walk my own line
without somebody
trying to straighten it for me.
***
Can't make my own time
without somebody
trying to set it for me.
***
Can't drink my own wine
without somebody
trying to drink it for me.
***
Always somebody
Making the choices.
***
Always somebody
Taking my choices .
***
Always somebody
Blocking my choices.
***
I wish I could be free.
***
I wish I could be me.
***
I wish all could see.
***
I'm not somebody
With blocked choices.
***
I'm not somebody
With taken choices.
***
I'm not somebody
denied making choices.
***
I can drink my own wine
without somebody
trying to drink it for me.
***
I can make my own time
without somebody
trying to set it for me.
***
...most of all
***
I can walk my own line,
without somebody
trying to straighten it for me.
