There they go again
Telling me I cannot
Will not make those choices that are mine
Pouring scorn thick and hot on me
Peddlers of lost causes prophets of doom
They are no match for my vision
Coordinates locked I will not waver
I will see through that dream
Coz its mine and I don't need anyone else’s
There they go again
Telling me I cannot
Will not make those choices that are mine
Pouring scorn thick and hot on me
They know not what drives me what lights me up
Clueless to how much more throttle
This vehicle of my life has to offer
They think they know me till
I step on the gas leaving them in my dust
There they go again
Telling me I cannot
Will not make those choices that are mine
Pouring scorn thick and hot on me
Cruising through life in my blood red cabriolet
Carefree wind in my face, Tusker between my legs
Waiting for the next curve sure that I will take it
Loving the thrill closing in on my dream
There they go again
Telling me I cannot
Will not make those choices that are mine
Pouring scorn thick and hot on me
Smiling at me the sun always is
Basking me in its rays of hope
Beckoning me to live that dream
How best I know without a care in my mind
This poem feels like a song. I used to listen to Billy Joel way back and i heard his song 'My life' on the radio driving to work.It brought a rush of memories and gave birth to this.

You are right - the poem reads like a song, very rhythmic and kind of cool. It also sounds very masculine.

That is nice - do not let "them" limit you. You can do anything.
