As I grow older, the year yet changes
I feel my surroundings peaceful and calm
broke away chains I felt I could never
Obligation, dependency beckoning me on
Forces other than mine,
wills other than good,
overshadowed the quest
I would try to complete
Sometimes other people make decisions for you,
cycles attempted at breaking end up on repeat
I am not the driver in anyone’s seat.
