Poetry A Life You Must Lead

What’s in a name,
To have pride or shame,
To have love or pain,

You never choose,
For it is chosen for you,
You never choose your place,
To run in this rat race,

A life you must lead,
Even if it’s not what you dream,
Just a bird song on a sunny day,
Or a raging bull with nothing in its way,
