I Feel Good

It's simple - live life the way you want it to be.

We are who we are,
that's for sure.
But we can still move forward;
how and to what you want it to be.

As kids, we saw life, as a make believe film.
We played cops and robbers,
climbed to the tops of Houses,
slid down roofs,
hid from mom and dad.
Played till we had to come in.

We got older,
and summers never lasted long enough.
We were the kings of the world.
No one could tell us other wise,
we did what we wanted to, and without excuses.

As we grew past adolescence,
Our world expanded,
the sights seen,
made more of an imprint on who we are.
We experience more of life,
the tragedies and the joys.
We become real,
and deep; full of scars.

But they can't touch me.

I see the world as it is,
one hell of a messed up place.

The one thing I know I can control,
is that person I know I am.
