I run my hands along my chin slowly
Marvelling at how much has changed in my life
How
much I have changed myself
I
was a parent-pleaser and a dutiful guy
I
made safe and careful choices totally
Hoped
that things would fall into place for me
And
still viewed it as something happening to me
I
hoped that the things would go right
Or
that fate would intervene in between
I
have learned that you make your own happiness
Going
for what you want means losing something else
And
somehow when the stakes of life are high
The
losses can be that much greater
