I have been taught and bred to act a certain way
But haven't we all
We are all in fact a product of our environment.
The phrases we say, the people we gravitate toward,
The food we eat or even the women we date.
Do we all in fact really have freedom of thought?
Freedom of mind?
You see I never really questioned my life,
As much as I have in this very moment I linger in right now
The path was clear and though I didn't know where I was going,
I knew precisely where I was headed.
But now..I'm not too sure.
People change people.
People evolve and new ideas replace old ones..
Once a child I was full of blissful ignorance
And now I'm 25 years old unsure of the direction.
Fun is fleeting,
Work is a essential,
And having someone is necessity.
What is this life?
But, a game that so many have played before us.
Going up and down the board,
Continually playing until the game is over.
I don't want to be a statistic.
I don't want to be a piece.
Am I destined for greatness?
I want life to mean something at the least.
Only when I gain clarity is when I will receive true and utter peace
