I lost myself at some point along the way. Somewhere on the road between "Here" and "There," I left the path. Irrevocably set on some distant point, I stumble toward my destiny. Eventually, I can go no further, And my inert body spralls under the hot sun. To continue would require a stronger Desire to live than I possess, So I lie motionless and defeated. In the years to come, My story will be told as a warning, A clear message to others who stray from the path: "To leave is to die," they'll say, And my soul will scream out against them. That is not the message I want to send! The only thing that saved me was to become lost. Had I not strayed, I would never have found My true path. Greatness was never reached By following someone else's road. "If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing." --Kingsley Amis |
