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
