Cookie Cutter

Its so beautiful 

So enthralling

Life

There are so many tangents

So many decisions that can be made

Adventures 

Things to see and people to meet

It has become overwhelming 

The roar of opportunity is deafening, disorienting and confusing

They raised us to follow a cookie-cutter plan

To be organized like a club or a clan

But how do you organize an infinite path with infinite unknowns

We've had our hand held for so long

We felt secure and oh so fucking strong

But now we're lost amist in a sea of frustration

We're overtaken with an uncomfortable sensation

Fear

Fear of failure

Fear of loss

Fear of wasting time

It's so sublime

I was taught how to follow

Not to think or survive
