Comfort Over Responsibility

You could’ve been someone by now. All it took was showing up these past few years.

You could’ve bought freedom. You could’ve retired early. You could’ve taken

your mother out of a system that grinds people down. You could’ve paid for better care,

bought more time, extended the lives of the people who raised you. You could’ve kept

your parents here longer. And still—you didn’t try. You weren’t motivated.

You chose comfort over responsibility.
