Is is worth it?

by falcon - Not entered

Is it really worth it?
 to try to be your own person
 to go against the majority
 to take the road less traveled by
 to live by your own code
 to hold your beliefs above all others
 to take on the world single-handedly
 to leave the safety of the circle to be true to yourself
It can be a hard life and only rarely desirable
But what is the point of living if you only do it the way someone else wants
Is it not better to live one day as a tiger,
Rather than to live a year as a lamb?

Reason for writing:

    they all try so hard to break my spirit.  one day they almost succeeded.  but as i wrote this i knew it was worth the fight to be able to live my life the way I want to.
