Innocence Smothered

Thrust into this world,my initiation begins
Miracles expected from me,devoid of a magic lamp or gins..
Like a tyro thrown into the deep end
I grapple to endure this life its only reward,a stipend..

As I burgeon my world starts expanding
But why do I feel every thought of mine disbanding?
Confined to a cocoon,narrowed,so restricted..
Why is my every desire,my every wish constricted?

Years pass by but this emptiness I cant conquer
Resigned to my fate in the face of an exacting society..
Why does my heart stray and not concur?
With this path chosen,chosen for me but not by me

One day in senility when I look back
What will I remember and cherish?
The erudition I earned through abnegation of my knack?
This life of a pedant till the day I perish..

This storm in my head never abates..
Will I ever truly be able to throw open these gates?

Years pass by but this emptiness I wont conquer
Resigned to my fate in the face of an exacting society..
Why does my heart stray and not concur?
With this path chosen,chosen for me but not by me
