Well, why can’t the time be now?
Why can’t I make it be now?
Am I not under my own influences?
Do I not own the right to be myself, to make choices for myself?
“When the time is
right, my darling,” they say to me,
But the time won’t be right until I say it is.My destiny cannot be accounted to the stars.
Seize the moment, be free!
How can I when the time is not right though?
“When the time is
right, my darling,” they say to me.
To them I say, with defiance
“The time is when I make it; therefore the time is now,”
And I turn my back on those who stop
And I shut the door.
