My life in a poem :P

Came into this world small and tiny,
I started growing up with dreams too many..

When asked what I wanted my life to be
I told them without any hesitancy..

"Unrealistic", they called it
"Impossible", they told me

Too young to know that they were wrong,
I quit my dreams and played along..

I treaded the path they wanted me to,
followed their words to make their dreams come true..
but the fire inside burned out,
there was nothing left of me..

"Who am I", I asked.

"No one, can't you see?"

One life, My life
why do they control?
I start to fight back while my mind played a drumroll..

After a long, hard battle
they conceded to let me try
and watched me fail with a smile so wry..

Things went back to the way they were,
I became a lifeless soul,
following the norms they bound me by
nothing I could do but cry..

Didn't take me long to get lost
this definitely wasn't the road I wanted to tread,
No, not at all..

The wandering started again.
Only this time it was into the uncharted crevices
to find my boulevard
the only thing I ever needed..

"Happiness is the only thing worth fighting for in your life"

Boy, did it take me time to get that!
But once I did, it didn't take long
for my heart and soul to stop listening to my mind alone..

Now I know what I want from life,
there is no turning back..
I've found my stage.
I've found my paradise.
