Your life is your own

I want to say to you
That your life is all and only yours
If not yours than whose?
Those ghosts you speak of,
They're not separate from you
They do not define you
They must follow you everywhere
But they do not carry weight
They are meant to help you
to guide you
to inspire you
to inform you
so that you can keep yourself safe
so that you can learn from
what could have been
and what will never be
so that you can enjoy being lost
and make beautiful decoupage artwork
out of all of your beautiful broken bits
When you're drained,
you must fill yourself with strength
You need not know who you are
Predicting who you could be is most often proven moot
Ask your ghosts about your dreaming tree;
I bet you they know where it's growing

Life is one paradox. The reason I say that is because we all are our own person and try not to listen what others have to say, but then again, there are those people we have to get approval of either for a job or for whatever that may be. I love the poem's message overall and how it states that it is okay to be your own person and try to be true and real to yourself.
