Something people don't appreciate once they have it
Love-attracting habits turn into the ghost of Christmas past
This institution where you feel trapped
But you willingly vowed to commit
Until it all falls down
The moments that call for extreme patience
Persistence
A remembrance of the reasons you're there in the first place
Yet everyone says it changes with that proclamation
Man and Wife
You devoted your life to...?
Argue
Deceive
Omit
Leave the real you hidden until
The dead bolt has sealed your destiny
THEN it gets serious?
Was the carrot dangled
Then mangled in the blender along with
Who you used to be?
A lost identity
And this is what I want...
The green I glean regarding my freedom
The ability I have that no one depends on me
No suspending my goals or dreams for anyone
Rendering boundless aspirations where only I stand in my way
Yet...this is the marathon I train for
When many are dying to run away
I take practice runs
Jogs around a field of maybe
Stealing looks at the finish line
Of what exactly?
