Obligation

Do you have an obligation to be
What you dreamed of as a child?
Just to be is a heavy thing
Working on raw emotion
And incomplete data
Life is running at hyper speed
Can you remember what you dreamed of
As a child?
Is there obligation in the remembering.
Wiped out memory and mind
Some hypnotic binge
Brings me to a new conclusion.
The child remembers many thoughts,
Which one is true?
How do you figure
The true self emerges.
Are people stamped true or false?
What uneasiness should I recognize, as I am propelled on into a new tomorrow.
Do you have an obligation to be
What you dreamed of as a child,
Or what you are dreaming now.
True or false, being is a heavy thing.

Contemplating the future, and regretting the past seems to be a constant theme of mine. I have always been envious of those who have known from the beginning what they were meant to do in life. My path has not been so clear, or the light is not on.
