Defying Gravity

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!

I'm through accepting limits
'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

I think it's time I tried defying gravity.
Cheesy? Maybe. True? Yep.
Life's too short and I have no time for what-if's.
"The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all." However the reckless die horrific deaths.
I think it's time I started making my own mistakes. Mistakes are what make us. Mistakes =/= failures. You fail if you don't try. Thomas Edison tried, unsuccessfully, over 10,000 times to make an electric lightbulb before he was succesful. When asked about it he didn't see that he'd failed, he simply found 10,000 ways not to make a lightbulb.
I can't live someone else's life. I have to live mine.
