Who Are We?

We are who we were from the time we were born,
What lies within us has all taken form,
Our path was mapped since the day of our birth,
It takes years to discover our true self worth.

Some have enjoyed the roads they have taken,
While others in life feel they're forsaken,
We all search our hearts to find who we are,
Our intricate mind sometime take us too far.

Are we so complicated that we really don't know,
While some watched in horror as we ran our own show,
Sometime making the same mistakes twice,
Was it going to be easy while we paid the price?

We begin our life on a road so straight,
Not a curve can be seen till we cast our own fate,
Let the journey begin but don't take my hand,
For I may lead you to a desolate land.

We will make our decisions some bad and some good,
Sometimes we'll wonder if we're misunderstood,
For there will be many who question our choice,
They'll all let us know with a resounding voice!

We live through our young years not giving much thought,
At the number of people we've left feeling distraught,
We were reckless and free not a care in the world,
Our actions were like lil boy's and lil girl's.

We decided to marry and make all our vows,
Failure then met us and destroyed them somehow,
Some married once while others far more,
Then soon we learned how ourselves to deplore.

We ask many questions for the answers we seek,
Trying to find them will just make us weak,
For there are no answers to the questions we ask,
Our lives were mapped out and has gone by too fast!
