A slave no more
The slave in us is when we say
"I've done it all my days this way
If I change I may go astray
On this the well-worn path I'll stay"
To be this way is being like stone
But if we want us to become
More happy, joyful, alive and strong
We have to learn to say: "I'm wrong"
This season is a quiet time
A time to learn to love what's mine
And not to grasp for more and more
Right here, right now is heaven's shore
I every breath I can adore
I will be a slave no more
This journey is for truth to see
This journey is to be soft and free
I'll greet each day as heaven's shore
And I will be a slave no more

Author's Note
There is always something we can improve upon. The challenge is to accept what we are, but to always seek to change in good ways too. It is about not being afraid to change, not being set in your ways to the point that you can not see when they become detrimental to your performance and your well-being.

Only a person can change themselves. And like you wrote, we should change for the better. Nicely written, Altair.
