I am worth more than a failure. I am worth more than my success.
You say I can do better, but maybe I’ve done my best.
I did my best on your assignment, on your test
And it isn’t good enough. It’s never good enough.
You say I can do better and life is tough
And I have to learn to please the world, because that’s how success comes
By conforming to the thoughts, the ways, the methods of men before me.
But what if I don’t want to be that type of girl?
What if I want to be different
And what if your test isn’t worthy of my best
And what if, what if, my better is something you can’t understand?
You say I can do better.
Better for who? Better for you?
I’m being better for me. Because you can grade me, you can degrade me
But I am worthy of more than that.
You can teach me your ways, but I promise I’ll stray
Because I have my own ways and they’re better for me.
You say I can do better.
And I can.
But you don’t decide who I am.
I am doing better, and I am working on my own dream
And it doesn’t matter that you aren’t a part of that.
My motives are my own and my rules come from a higher plan
From a better man, a better man than you.
My motives come from Jesus because he can tell me what to do
And I believe Him. Because he cares for my success and well-being
And you care for your own dreams and things your narrow mind is seeing.
You aren’t the man in charge of my greater plan
And your opinion will not define me.
You say I can do better.
Watch me.

“And your opinion won’t define me” Well said! your own actions and your own feelings define who you are, not that of others.

You remind me of a girl on a tv show, because you always blog. Awkward.
