Agitated..contemplating... stuck in my mind
I'm reflecting on my whole life....
I have nothing to show for my twenty-nine
Now i'm not lazy, and I'm very smart
I'm just bored of the stagnation these jobs instill
These societal norms I can not fulfill.
I feel trapped, and I want to be free
Survival is no longer a need
I want to live my life for me
But these burdens of failing, weigh so heavy
Taking a chance on me...Investing in me
Is a rode I never thought to seek
To know that you are capable, but still feel inadequate amazes me
Is it because no one is there to validate me
Or because I was also taught to play it safe
To do the bare minimum! Make sure you always have what you need..
And DO NOT DREAM!
But since when was success a burden?
