Destiny draws the map
But where do I turn off?
Which is the right path?
The roads crisscross

into the realms of the insane.
I cannot keep the pattern.
Constant consistent change.
A prayer a day is sent,

But I don’t think they find the right mailbox,
Or the letter isn’t quite stamped with full dues.
One day I will lose all my trains of thought,
And once again I won’t know what to do.

It is hard to follow the shining light
When the room is shadow dark.
It is hard  to always do whats right
When I want to have a heart.

It can’t be easy to stick to black and white
With no exceptions but be fair.
I can’t stay aloof in arguments and fights
Because I can't  just not care.

I am truly lost
In the past, in  the future
And what could have been.
Destiny want to give me a hint?

which path should I follow?
give me a sign for my travels.

Excellent. It's nice not to be able to 'guess the next line' in a poem. I like the word choiceage, and the part about the letter and the mailbox.
