You Didn't Read This Here

It's only an admission couched in verse
So you didn't read this here
But the metaphor is of a room rearranged
And you hadn't really planned on changing your life that way
And there's nothing you can do to stop the shift in who you are
And you don't even know what it is exactly you will be adapting to
And you know enough to know enough to know enough to live anyway
But the thought keeps creeping into you're decrepit mind that you're finished anyway
At the very least with this
And it doesn't settle well
And you don't know what to do
And you don't know who you'll be
Even though you've been and you've been and you've been.

Now what?
