Do You

Those are just words spoken
Taken as a token
For something more meaningful
Do you means
In it's essence
To not care what people think
To do what's best for you
In the long run
Who's life is it anyway
When all the chips are down
And you fall
And you are at your worst
Who is going to be there
Is it not for your own selfish gain
Is it not for theirs that they would tell you to do
What's not right for you
Moving on
Doing you
It's the right thing to do
For you
Not them
It's your life
It's your strife
Go through it to get to it
In the end...
Then what
What will have all been worth
Or for
That is the question
Let no man tear us asunder
Why even bother
When life simply ends
The question is for those who will come after us
The legacy that's left
Should we really be concerned
What about the lessons learned?
So many questions
So little time
Breaking off
To do me
In time.
