This Road

He would not leave me
This guy I don't feel for
But then came a baby
Is this the time to show him the door?

I built these protective walls
Decorated them with bikes, boards, and volleyballs
I even remember dancing in the halls

After more that twenty years of keeping this pace
It appeared as if we were winning the race
But if you look close I needed some space

When our kids went out on their own
I found that I wanted to be all alone

I started going on solo trips with the car
That's when you find out who you are

Thinking about the road not taken causes anxiety
Maybe I should just give more to society

I don't know how this will end
But I no longer want to pretend
