Too Much Time

too much time 
worrying about others 
too many years 
trying to gain love  
too much time 
spent trying to please 
too much effort  
towards pursuit of happiness 
by way of possessing an others
heart
focus was on want others 
wanted me to be 
focus was on what others 
viewed as acceptable 
no that the ties are cut 
do not know which way 
too go from here 
not used to being in control
not accustomed to making decisions
