Destinations

There's a place I want to go,

Thought it was close now I don't know.

I think it's mine and then I find,

That someone's moved the finish line.

 

I pick my goal, they block the way.

I’m trying so hard but have no say

In where I go, when I'll arrive

Or let to even feel alive.

 

I chose a place, I had to pass.

I chose another… it didn't last.

It's not that I don't know where to go,

It's that I’m constantly being told No!

 

There's a reason the title is plural,

And that place is a Home, whether city or rural.

Though I chose, it's constant coarse corrections.

I’m forced to change ‘find Home’ to Destinations.
