This life is mine and I am my own

270 Views 4 Comments

So often we forget that we are perfect just the way we are, that we don’t have to live up to everyone else’s expectations of ourselves but rather just to be ourselves… This life is mine and I am my own, who are you?

The shades gone up
Mothers staring down
She don’t know where he’s been
Or how long he’s been out

She said “Boy I’m tired of waiting up while your out with your friends”
He said “Mom, I’m trying and I’m living my life the best way that I can”

Cause I’m trying to be somebody
I’m not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I’m living
Don’t you know me? I wont ever let you down

The day has come
The son is moving on
She don’t know where he’ll go
Or when he’s coming home

She said “Son,take care, don’t let your dreams get too far out of sight”
He said “I love you now don’t worry about me you know I’ll be fine”

Cause I’m trying to be somebody
I’m not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I’m living
Don’t you know me? I wont ever let you down
No

I’m not trying to be somebody else
Don’t you know me? I wont ever let you
I wont ever let you

What they say
What they know
What they think won’t ever bring me down
This life is mine and I am my own

I’m trying to be somebody
I’m not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I lead
Don’t you know me?

I’m trying to be somebody
I’m not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I’m living
Don’t you know me? I won’t ever let you down
No
I’m not trying to be somebody else
Don’t you know me? I won’t ever let you down
I won’t be nobody else
This life is mine and I am my own

    Hi,
    How are you?
    I readed your blog and enjoy from your weblog.
    But I think it’s better that you used a Multi Blogs like as me because it gives you 10GB free space for storages your files

    Hi Mitra, welcome and thank you for your kind words. To be honest for me it is quality not quantity that counts and that is why I have chosen WordPress to be my home. Thanks again πŸ™‚
