Shackled

I watch you enter - eyes downcast
uneven gait, carrying a weight
too heavy for one so young.
What brought you to this place —
happenstance; circumstances
beyond your control?
Was it a conscious choice,
what played a roll?
Who where your role models
and where will you go from here?
Each one of us judged on what we take or leave behind
or where we place the blame.
Will you be remembered for a future that you wasted
    or the past you overcame?

Whether good or bad, we all have a past, and a choice to make on what we'd like our future to be.
