Obedience

When dusk falls
And everyone is asleep

I open the gate
Into the weave of memories

The brutal truth
Is at my fingertips

But I am too
Too reckless to touch it

Unaware I wander
I walk without awareness

But when enlightenment comes
I'll realize who I've become

From the path once taken
It's hard to get off

Especially when
You didn't choose it yourself
