I have never known

What it is to really live

So I did what the others do

And learn from the generations before me

I have sought to fill in

These unanswered questions

On the meaning of my life

So I made a to-do list

Of what my life should be

I planned everything from A to Z

And do what I've always been told

Studying, working, marrying, buying

And everything else that follows

But 'doing' was not enough

To silence the questions

About where I am going

If destiny really exists

Is it restricted to checkboxes only ?

If this is the case,

then destiny would be

an eternal repetition

of what has always been

and what will be

We are stuck.
