My Life Must Be Sweet

I shall eat when I have hunger
And wait no man’s timing.
I shall sleep when I feel drowsy
And wait no man’s concern.
I shall laugh when I feel happy
And wait no one’s mood.
I shall anger when I’m wounded
And mind no one’s reaction.
You may call me a selfish beast
But by that my life can be sweet.
