Everything laid out before me,
I already know what lies ahead,
I'm not the leader,
I'm being lead.
I can only go forward,
into a tunnel with no way back,
I plod along steadily,
freedom is what I lack.
There is no way out,
my life is set in stone,
nothing is left to chance,
my future, I have always known.
The people of my life,
choosing what I do,
I have no voice,
I just listen to you.
I've forgotten how to choose,
I don't know how to decide,
I need you to take me through life,
to be my faithful guide.
I've run out of choices,
I'm trapped by fate,
there's no more time,
I'm too late.
Does anyone ever live a life,
or are they only lead,
by teachers, friends, and family,
from birth to deathbed.
