It is not that I wanted to,

But things became so convoluted,

Time just passed me by.

It is not that I meant to,

But in the midst of trying,

Everyone left me behind.

It is not the way I envisioned it so,

But when I turned around,

There was nowhere left to go.

It is not the way I saw it ending,

But each new beginning,

Left me feeling the same as before.
