Fearing autonomy

Why do we fear living and working autonomously,

Choosing instead to be told what to do and how to live,

Conditioned from birth we’re taught to follow

Living a life that is empty and hollow,

Fearful of risk taking or daring to be different

This is what makes our lives so insignificant,

Taught that materialism and wealth should be our ultimate goal

Which is like circling around the same sink hole,

Hoping for this to happen and feeling we failed if it does not

Thinking without achieving this out life is just rot.
