Live for yourself

Live not for others,
Live for yourself,
Others may tell you this,
But others dont know yourself,

Why do we listen in vain to them,
When what they talk is only their opinion,
What matters most is not with them,
What matters most lies within,

Others may have their own objective,
But others dont know your objective,
Only you know your own objective,
Then why do we allow others to be the directive,

Is it because we are afraid of others?
Is it because we are afraid of losing?
Is it because we care for others?
Or is it because we are missing something?

What we are missing is living for ourselves,
So long as we do not do bad things,
So long as we do not break things,
So long as we do not mess things.

Then why are we living not for ourselves?
Is it high time that we live for ourselves?
Is it high time that we take pride in having our own objectives?
Our own mind, our own decisions.

Win or lose, we bear the consequences,
Win or lose, we take pride in our decisions,
For better or for worse, at least we have done things,
Not for others, but for we ourselves.
