I had always been the favorite of the spawn of my family tree

That knowledge had been crippling, debilitating, or am I lazy?

I’m writing this out to talk to my inner child

I see you boy it’s ok smile

They said you were pretty and destined for greatness

Because they saw paths and directions for you to go off in

And you wanted them all so much so you couldn’t choose which dream to live

It kept you frozen in indecision

Even stiller in doubt

Darling you didn’t know how to move

So no move was the best choice you could make

You thought you were making choices but you were rolling with the punches, no Rocky

Then life hit harder than the sweetest Saki

It wasn’t what was promised to you by family

I saw me walking down the street in Seattle

That was it, not the house I’d live in

Not the car I’d drive

Nor work I’d find

Not the friends I’d have

Nor the guys I’d lye, with

That I had a dream of someone else

It was so hazy it was like yelling it at me across a football field

They weren’t my dreams so thankfully I didn’t live it

And I can still do no wrong 😝
