"There's so much to do" they say
"There's so many people to meet", they say
"You have so much to offer", they say
"The sky is the limit", they say

Yet, what do they mean?
The career categories they outlined for us
Or the dreams they sell as the only way to reach
Perhaps, what may seem to suit us more

Sadly, they never ask what's in your heart?
What bothers you the most?
Never how to invest time for solutions in it!
Never what you'd do if money was no longer

Through euphemism, they tell you not to be
Reminding you of situational focus
The mortgage and needs

Through such company and society
What's the picture?
A visionary with aspirations, but still body and overwhelming where to start.

I know you know, but do you know to change?
