Written Destiny

You stayed with me over the years I grew,

I wish you would love who I’m becoming.

Since I’m not changing how you want me to,

I’m begging you to just please stop hating.

When I grow older and start my career,

Approve of what I am going to be.

Don’t try to change my mind, nothing to fear.

Successful I will be and make you see,

That I can choose a path all by myself.

Just love and care until I fade away.

Don’t throw me out or leave me on the shelf.

I will work hard till my hairs turn gray.

My destiny already set in stone,

For it I’ll strive until I’m skin and bone.
