Bench of Life

Sitting on the bench of life
Thinking of all the missed opportunities
All the people who little by little quashed your hopes and dreams
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off
After awhile this mantra becomes less and less strong
You have become weak and feeble
You have become a sheep, pushed around by the people
Who think they know what is best for you
Take your life back as your own.
Stop being pushed around by people
Say NO to some people, stop being so passive towards others
Sometimes you have to hurt some people, tell some how they make you feel
Stop being a timid mouse.
Stop letting the past effect your decisions for the future
Plan, have ideas, don't let other people put you down or your ideas
You can be strong. You can be creative
Create opportunities for yourself
If you don't have to answer to anyone, don't. Not even friends.
