Make your own rules!

Mark got good grades and indulged in some extra curriculars too

Prepped well for interviews, even those that came at him out of the blue.

Got a job with a corner office and a six figure salary

Married a gorgeous brunette, together they gym and count every calorie!

Lisa dropped out of college in Year 3

She took out time to travel and considered the stamps in her passport her degree.

Got a job as a tour guide on the Machu Pichu trails

She loves the local cuisine there and never climbs onto scales!

Philip adopted a baby girl and is a super proud dad

He never fell in love, but wanted a baby so bad!

He's a writer for the entire world to see

But his favorite word these days is his daughter's first "Daddy!"

Maria and Rita fell in love last fall

They moved to a town in Canada and celebrated their union with one and all

Maria has opened a bakery and Rita is a software engineer

They're bubbling with joy and laughter and blissfully ignoring the occasional sneer.

Life doesn't come with a rule book

You can dance, laugh, babysit, write code or cook!

You can either accept a situation by making peace with it in life

Or change whatever it is within you that's causing you strife.

So write your personal legend in your very own style

Follow your goosebumps and your lovely smile

Laugh in the face of challenges, they're temporary you'll see

Don't fall into society's trap, and you'll live oh so free!
