The Life is Living You!

You can’t retire and you can’t start anew
You can’t look back and you can’t slow down
You have nothing to hold on to,

nor someone to fall back on
You are not living your life, the life is living you!

You can’t find your way and the way isn’t just there
You can’t question and the answers don’t seek you
You have everything to grunt about,

but you can’t complain
You are not living your life, the life is living you!

You can’t tell right from wrong and you can’t judge the standards
You can’t reason and the complexities just don’t simplify
You have every means to achieve,

but means don’t have means to you
You are not living your life, the life is living you!

You can’t love someone and you can’t hold someone back
You can’t be content and the happiness seems to evade you
You have everyone as your friend,

but they don’t oblige
You are not living your life, the life is living you!

You don’t want to obey, but you can’t defy
You can’t revolt and you can’t die
You are not living your life, the life is living you!


Au revoir

"Life is living you" and "Things that I am afraid of"..... nicely written.... seems like you are struck in something, you don't enjoy doing..... "falling into rut, insecurity, expectations, future..... all these themes sound so identifiable.... and relevant too.....

Keep writing.......
