It's My Life

I always walk in others shadows,
Never in my own.

I never take my own footsteps,
But have someone carry me.

My parents' want me to be a doctor someday,
So that's who I'll be,
Even if I don't 100 percent agree.

They tell me things to do,
And of course I listen.

In my heart I'm saying "No,"
But my mind is telling me otherwise.

I hide in the bushes,
And the bushes hide me.

It rains all day,
And I stay inside,
Thinking,
Thinking about my life.

Finally I work up the courage,
To follow my heart,
And I say "This time, I'm walking in my own shadow, not yours."
