Take responsibility for your life

Are you compensating for losing your dad?
Is that why you have to have
Everything that is to be had
Why can't you see that you can be happy
Why can't you see 
That if you only appreciate
What you already have?
You will be happy!
Take one day at a time
You can live your life
You just can't do all the things you want
Because they ruin your life
You've got to take responsibility
For how you feel and what you've done
You can't always be the victim
You have to get on with your life
Get over what happened as a child
Realise that you have a life to live
You have a responsibility for your behaviour
You can't blame everyone else
For what happened 50 years ago
You're a grown man
Get off your bum
Do the stuff you need to do
Make a change
Make a choice and do it
Get off your bum and do it!
