I have a responsibility
I have a reputation
I people who count on me
I have people who take me for granted
I am not sad, but I am not happy.
I am numb
I do the things I’m supposed to
But there’s so much more I want to do
I know what society says
But I know what heart says.
I never thought I would ever have another chance at my love of a lifetime
But that chance has come
How HOW can I drop where I am and
Run to her, leaving chaos in my wake
I don’t want to hurt anyone
I just want to live
How can I suppress the feelings
My flesh is weak
My heart is strong
Why should I even have a choice
I have learned to live with the life I have chosen and was doing fine
Now I’m spinning off in all directions
Where will I land?
