Don’t Dance To Everyone Else`s Tune

 

Why do we spend our life trying to please everyone else.

All our own thoughts and feelings boxed up and put on the shelf.

Always worrying what other people might think

Instead of just living by what comes naturally and on instinct.

 

Concerned by the reaction of the neighbours next door.

Like your own desires and ambitions, you fear to explore.

Incapable of deciding just for yourself.

Not to look for any support or need any help.

 

Live with the repercussions of the choice you made.

Don't be tied to their thoughts like a mental slave.

You have the freedom to be right or wrong.

You don't always have to sing everyone else’s song.

 

Go and explore the paths of life that are open to you.

Do not worry about the criticism and the following abuse.

Stand proud and represent how you were born to be.

Stop dancing to other people’s tune constantly.

 

Go bite the bullet that you have been given.

If you make mistakes there is always time to be forgiven.

it is not a crime to be motivated and self-driven.

If you are always dancing to someone else’s tune, you are just not living.
