This Is My Life Poem by Charlie F. Kane

So the newspaper tells me to change my ways,
‘The outlook is bad for Capricorn for this week’,
Well I say ‘It’s my life’
And I’ll live it how I want,
Because this is my life.
I’m taking it how it comes,
Because this is my life.

Ol’ Frank Sintra told me to do it my way,
So that’s my mantra because this is my life.
I don’t want to live any other way,
Because, after all, this is my life.
I think that since this is my life,
That I’m the best person to know how to handle it
Because this is my life.

I wouldn’t want to trade,
I’ve got what I want
And I don’t brood on what I haven’t
Because this is my life,
And it’s the only one I got.
I’m not changing myself
Just to live my life your way,
Because, after all,
And you can never take away the fact,
That this is my life.
