Undiscovered

Hampered decades withered wasted Filtered faint supposed adult phases Thumb stuck under parental watch Otherwise valid options squashed Tip toe inhibit, always present parents Lame version of living, aged thirty seven Stagnated, restricted mentality of boy Stranger to poinant beckon, own voice Girlfriend experience has to be paid for Without privacy, mature desires unable To explore collected life's excitement Warranted ability boxed and frightened Nightly dinner served, bed Mum tidies Long spanning dependance, care relying On compassion, viewed incompetence Spun by insulting cyclic denial's dance Worked fifteen years for family business Residing rent free, secure job benefits Have a five bedroom house in next suburb Sits always untenanted to avoid trouble Your foresight surely conjurs panic Soon elderly parents may not manage Destined to remain home, become their carer Tiny limit of terrified world takes you nowhere
