I'm not going to get anywhere in life living with self pity

by Seth Rowley   Dec 3, 2009


I want to be in control of my own life.
I don’t want anybody standing by my side.
I don’t mean that in a hateful or rude way.
I’m not a punk I’m not gay, just because I don’t get sex everyday like you don’t mean anything.
I’m happy with who I am and who I want to be.
Everybody wants some sort of changes in their life.
I just don’t want to get cut with a knife.
I’m scared to death of some shit that hasn’t happened yet and probably never will happen.
I just need to quit being so paranoid all the time.
I need to grow up and live life.
I need to take my chances.
This world has all sorts of dances.
I just gotta learn how to keep my head up and stay up high.
I have to keep my head up high until the day that I die.
Am I meant to be single?
Am I doing too much?
I don’t want to be different than everybody else.
You have to keep an open mind these days.
Why do people like making people upset?
Why do employers think it’s cool to fire somebody?
I’m going to be rich someday soon.
I don’t know how I’m going to be rich, I have not a clue.
I’m just tired of being poor even though I know there are people out there even poorer than me.
I better feel lucky that I’m not one of those people sleeping underneath a bridge in Downtown Oklahoma City.
I’m not going to get anywhere in life living with self pity.
