I realized I was stuck in a rut

Drowning in a life that wasn’t mine

Doing everything that seemed right

But was absolutely wrong.

I was living the way I was expected to

Ready to sit behind a desk

And chase targets

For as long as I possibly could.

I was supposed to make money

And make a career

Just not one that mattered to me

But one that had as little risk as possible.

And I’m still in this rut

Still stuck on this path

Already hating my destination

Regretting every decision.

So take me away from here

From this life in my four walls

And let me free

To go find what I love.

Don’t keep me in your cage

I don’t want to live this way

I want to let go

And be who I’m meant to be.
