Daily routines create sanity
Inspirational dreams will only create chaos
Screaming passion has to be silenced
Taunting voices say I'm not brave enough
Restrictions of dreams because of bills that must be paid
All encompassing thoughts of what could be if I was happy
Confidence shaken by "what if's"?
Too many risks in starting over at my age
Irresponsible to create a business plan and take a step?
Inconsiderate to use my family's savings to get things going?
Now I must go back to the daily monotony of my ordinary life
