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.
