From the time I was born, speculation began, as to what I would do, and who I might be!

Some said I'd win, others I'd fail, all seemed to place bets on me!

Would I be like my Dad, would I be like my Mom, they both had a plan for me!

But try as I might, and try as I may, I never met up to their plea!

So I listened to friends, I listened to all, who knew what it was I should be!

But by pleasing friends, and pleasing all I seemed to lose sight of me!

So I charted my course, and made a new plan, I would be who I wanted to be!

Friends would grumble, all would complain, but I would succeed you see!

The best I can do, and the best I can be, is to find happiness just being me!
