What is 2018 even?

In which my father sensed a stir in the calm waters,
Because some people are meant to live alone,
But also some refuse to change.
Because how long must I wait?
But when will I drop my guard?
I too await the day where watching people fall and struggle pains me,
I too wish to change.
But the world is at it is,
And I will not have it as it is.
