Paths

November 18, 2019

I stand in a forest, a million paths in front of me Each one a different choice, a different person I could be

I've taken roads I thought were bright But those only brought another plight

Some paths were dark and full of fear, But in the end, they brought me here

I remember each choice and decision I remember the pain and derision

Not one choice has been easy But not every day can be sunny and breezy

With every mistake came a lesson learned With every embarrassment came wisdom earned

So as I look at the paths not taken I'll remember that I'd be mistaken

To think one would've brought more cheer Than the one that led me here
