break away from all that is real.
forget how you think, forget how you feel.
live life today, forget things gone by.
live your own truth and not the world's lie.
create a life of living, be spontaneous and brave.
go off the beaten path, find your own road to pave.
for if you live life for you and you alone,
you'll be yout own master and create your own throne.
the world around may tell you what to do or say,
but tomorrow is too worrisome; concentrate on today.
things may have gone wrong in the days of past,
but he who looks at yesterday always finishes last.
learn from your mistakes and move on twice as wise.
help those less fortunate, smile at those you despise.
and once your life is over, once your journey's done,
you will know you ran the race, and you will know you've won.
for yesterday is hopeless and tomorrow's far away,
but in the end it will matter what you do today.
