a legacy with bad instructions

i am bothered

spinning in directions
contemplating on
which way i should go

they tell me
to go east
to go west

if i follow
your instructions
am i passing a test?

they remind us
of the years
we have yet
to set
our dreams up

having five year plans
and ten year problems
to become

they rush us
into a world
of dark
and dreary

they warn us
they tell us
to be weary

i have an issue

with this ticking time bomb
setting itself up to explode

why do i have to be the one
to diffuse it?

why do i have to be the one
you have to scold?
