i am bothered
spinning in directions
contemplating on
which way i should gothey tell me
to go east
to go westif i follow
your instructions
am i passing a test?they remind us
of the years
we have yet
to set
our dreams uphaving five year plans
and ten year problems
to becomethey rush us
into a world
of dark
and drearythey warn us
they tell us
to be wearyi have an issue
with this ticking time bomb
setting itself up to explodewhy do i have to be the one
to diffuse it?why do i have to be the one
you have to scold?
