Crooked roads, unpaved, wandering aimlessly in circular motions
Needleless compass, sailboat rocking, drowning ocean
Youthful eyes burn with a need for direction
Sitting idle, motionless in the middle of the intersection
Tragedy of indecision decides to remain in station
No matter what wisdom shall attempt to rock the foundation
Tyger chasing tail
Failure never chances fail
Train on track
Constantly derailed
No destination
No closure
Just frustration
The journey lingers on in limbo stage
What lies at the end of this chapter
Just a repeat of the previous page
The man who puts too much stock in fate
Will live a life in a stale mate
Without direction or a plan
The path chooses for the man

Very nicely done! The imagery and semantics were articulate, with the subtle flip from beginning to end drawing my eyes back to the top to read again.

very nice. good representation of those aimless, hopeless, everything is futile feelings. With a nice hint of determination in the tone of the piece, which makes it sound more mature than the average "life sucks" poem.

peace,
andrew

You definitely said a mouthful there!  Enjoyed your perspective from start to finish.

                    
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.
