Like it or Not

Distorted reflections, mistaken beliefs
Am I empty or just to full to feel
This isn’t who I thought Id become
I didn’t sign up for this deal

So much for me to be grateful
I am thankful for all I’ve been given
But something inside is missing
That passion that once had me driven

I want to open my eyes
And become fully aware
That this is my life like it or not
There is no such thing as fair

I need to take what I have
And make it the most
And realize to this life of mine
I am the only host

I need to live in the moment
Worry not of the future, forget the past
I need to let the river carry me
And shed this cumbersome mast

Introducing myself
To this world as just me
Its good enough for you
So I will just let it be
