Controlled

Contained, controlled, is what we are

Our jobs, our lives; do you feel it too?

First school and knowledge, get into college

A job with pay, to live the way

They want you to, is what we do.

Each day planned out, wake up, get out

Of bed to do what you don't want to.

Boundaries set, dreams, regret

For what you want, but can't because

It's not the way in life today.

Step out, break free, breathe deep and be

The you who you are

Not defined by your car, or job, or house

Or habits, words, failures, accomplishments.

Not who you are molded into

But who you are, that molds the world.
