Mid-Life Dogma

Once upon a time we lived in a world
Where joy was happiness
Compatibility was cordial
Adventure was liveliness
Desires were the needs
And choices were the preferences. 

But now as I am growing
Someone else's perceived needs are conceived as desires
Adventures are haywired and broken
Compatibilities are enforced on the souls
Notion of system is the anticipated joy now
And happiness is an unknown entity that we ought to seek
On the unpreferrably chosen routes.
We'll be peaceful if we were meant to be.
