Educated Angst

By
Present in body, absent in mind,
My thoughts fly away when you begin to speak.
Evidence fo a faulty choice on my part?
Multiple choice only made me confused.
Your expectations make me sick;
Can't you see my heart's not here?
Where it resides I haven't learned -
The map's outdated; X marked the spot when I followed a different path.
I live another life now.
My freedom is still fresh and I'm overwhelmed with my free will.
I cannot will myself to commit without my entirety involved.
My heart resides elsewhere;
I do not know where.
