The narrowing nature of life.

The young are brimming full of potential

but as we grow we sacrifice for the actual roles are defined as you slowly become

a student, a worker,

a lover, a mom

and as you slot into

your well-chosen path

it narrows and bends

until finally at last

choices are slim

potential is gone

but be thankful

you chose something

before you had none

cos life is like

a narrowing road

where choices

and potential

slowly

erode...
