I tell you I'm happy

But it isn't so

Staring at the walls

Of our new found home

Where does the money come from

To pay the rent?

Equate the amount earned

With the effort spent

Taking the first step

Wasn't so difficult

I just seemed to drift

Into the situation

Taking the last step

Isn't so easy

In the final few footsteps

Into domestication.

Whatever happened

To my rebellious nature?

Wash it down the sink

With the dirty water

Mentally years ahead of my age

A fictional father

To a son and daughter

Taking the first step

Wasn't so difficult

I just seemed to drift

Into the situation

Taking the last step

Isn't so easy

The final few footsteps

Into domestication
