It’s not like it’s an old age

But I feel so far from the places I thought I’d be

My life isn’t bad

It just wasn’t chosen by me

But I have to choose it

Inaction is something I can’t afford

I am going places, I think I know where

It’s the how that scares me

What if

What if I changed those

I am changing those

Before anyone else gets the chance’

It has no locks

I found comfort in being my own victim
