Vita

by Roarke Miller aged 14

I was always told to live life to the fullest
to not let anyone influence you,
the way you think,
what you do with yourself

I was always told to not mess up
to be perfect,
to be the person that never gets in trouble
but things happen

I was always told to be the best that I can be
to never do anything wrong,
but along the way,
things happen

Is it really all that bad to not be perfect?
Is it really all that bad to get in trouble?
Is it really all that bad to do things wrong?
Is it really all that bad to be yourself?

No.
Live like you want
Not how you are told by teachers
Not by parents
Not by friends

For that matter
are you even wrong,
what’s the definition of wrong
what makes you wrong or right?

Who makes the rules for what you do?
Live for yourself
Be an individual
Follow your beliefs
And you’ll never be wrong
