The sermon of life,
Society defined pathways
Acceptable careers,
Fitting the mold.
Conform or disappoint
.
Young and naive,
We shape ourselves to join the social clergy,
Living the path foretold ahead,
Too scared for independence
.
Mid-life crisis’s,
Realisation of mistakes too late,
Of miss-placed faith,
.
If time was given again,
Faith in ourselves,
Independent unique paths forget,
Our lives journey renewed.
.
It is better to have died living your way,
Then to have spent life in another’s shoes.
