Did your dreams devolve
Into a nice home
Or did they get choked
By 9 to 5
Did you find the peace
The one we once feared
Much more than the war
We once called our life?
And now I ask myself
How much longer can I save myself
From being you
Were you defeated
Or did you give in?
Is this what you want?
Is this feeling safe?
Or is this just
What everyone becomes
Once they have grown up
Once their world has won
