My life revolved around what others had to say
My goal was to please everyone each and everyday
Untill one day I found my road to success
I started living for me, not caring about the rest
My priorities changed , my goals set higher
And as my life became better their eyes set on fire
They did what they could to bring my life down
But as I walked that road to success I swore never again would I drown
In that sea of jealous eyes that wished for me to fail
I just looked up, walked on, and showed them I would prevail

what others have to say

Very nice   Being yourself is always so much easier than trying to live the way others want you to.  It is a very free feeling.  Enjoyed, Shlee
