The Road Untraveled

I am stuck with a decision between right or left.
Both paths are equal but lead to a different place.
Do I go left or right? I can not choose the one for me.
Life keeps pushing me forward and I am deaf and can't see infront of me.

Which path is the best for me? I have traveled so many and can't go back.
All I can do is keep going, hoping, and wishing that I could go back.
My life would be so much better if I made different choices.
But this is the way my path goes and no one really knows.
Which is the best for me.

Have you ever wished that you could have taken the road untraveled?
Would you be different or the same just mangled or would you do it all again?
Every one and a while a weary traveler acompanies you down that path.
But eventually they must branch off on thier own.

So much misery and heart ache life brings when you fall off the path.
So much pain and suffering life has when you follow it, you do the math.
For I have gone through thousands of forks in the road.
And why is it I always listen to that stupid toad.
Who mocks me and laughs at me as I follow it like a fool.

No More!

I follow my heart now and do what it tells me.
For I will reach the end, hopefully, eventually.

so true we do have lots of roads to travel but i'll tell you this the best person to listen to is yourself, and if you do make a wrong turn at least you can always turn around. We all make wrong turns but we learn from them and next time take the right road. Oh also take a map it helps! lol

What a sweet inquisitive poem. The paths
that we choose are fated to be -- I always
go head over heels for the first decision
I make -- if it is wrong, oh well.
