I'm a little different, but who's not?
Tend to bend the rules and not get caught.
Live my life the way I want.
Enjoy my possessions, but do not flaunt.
I roam wide open spaces,
Searching for different paths to take me to new places.
Remembering tomorrow while also steering ahead,
Always thinking of the words my guardians have said.
Never regretting a moment, a vision, or a decision,
Because these help shape the future I envision.
With sea salt in my hair I long to be free,
Those soft waves that I know have always called for me.
A place like that is where I truly belong.
A place like that is where you can do no wrong.
But for now I shall dance while I expel my thoughts,
And soon spread my message if only time allots.
Experience your independence while you still can.
Do daring things, but still be a wise man.
Love someone just for the sake of the moment.
Recognize a mistake and know that you own it.
Take great friends with you wherever you go,
And leave mediocre ones behind so you continue to grow.
Keep in touch with your roots; they were once all that you had.
Tell someone they look nice, regardless of if they look bad.
But the highlight of my message that I hope people find,
Is not limited to the thoughts of only my mind.
It is to love unconditionally both my neighbors and yours,
And appreciate every last one of life's unexpected detours
