My Choice

I make my own mistakes,
I lead my own life,
I choose my own path,
But I pay my own price.

I'm unguided, untamed,
Wild and Free,
Running but falling,
My faults tripping me.

I stand strong,
But I can slip,
I walk confident,
But sometimes I limp.

I get up when I fall,
I strive to stand,
I learn from my troubles,
Without a helping hand.

I have a fire deep within,
burning and swaying,
In the Life that I Live.
