Self-ReLIEnce

Who you want to be for them, Is who you need to be for yourself. Extend your branch, they snap your stems, And you're left alone in dying health. You gave out all your survival kits, Left alone in your sinking ship. But if you just realized who didn't fit, You'd have survived that maiden trip. Stop dying for other people's sins, The man with the beard did that first. You aren't allowed to claim their wins, And your denial just makes it the worst. If you want the world you think they owe, Then go and actually make it your own. Because we all reap what we will sow, And your bounty can't fit in just one zone.
