Life is like a long trip on a short road There are so many thing to behold Many drive straight Many drive reckless Many drive drunk Each of us is unique Each drives a different car Each looks at life differently Some look too long at the road in front of them And forget to look up ahead at the obstacles in their way So live as you should drive Look out from yourself and don't live too close to yourself Try not to examine the mistakes Don't dwell on the past Be a nonconformist If your true self does not accept the values of the majority Better to live your life the way you would like it Than live your life to please the values of others

About this poem:
Found this in an old notebook from 1990. I was in college back then and working at Hardee's. Plenty of time for self reflection in between those two pursuits.

I love how you say "If your true self does not accept the values of the majority.. " as opposed to simply 'you.'
