A Different Path
Standing alone on the crossroads of life
Wondering if I should turn left or right
On one side I could see clearly for miles
And the other, dusty n hidden with hay that piled
I turned left onto the path less trodden
Thought my opportunities it could more broaden
I walked on it a few years and found myself lost
There were no challenges, no clarity, yet was I exhaust
I came back to that crossroad and went down the other way
Scared and uncertain was I, on how this could sway
Now after years I have finally reached the end
I can happily look back and say, I found peace on this bend
Now I know, that no matter how smooth things look
The fun and challenge, is in the uncertainty that life can cook
So, if you’re in life searching for your soul
Maybe it’s time for you to find another path to stroll
