Choose Your Path

It’s raining at the crossroads tonight

A heavy sky weeping down on the forked path

Like the tears of the ones I’ve left behind

While the wind screams to never leave

Tonight I stand in front of the thousands of options ahead of me, but I have yet to take a single step.

I don’t want to move forward, I want to remain frozen in time. I want to go home and sleep in my childhood bed, and do all the childhood things.

But life moves forward hastily, never once stopping to take a breath.

So many decisions with unclear outcomes, so many muddy futures with a chance to go incredibly wrong

Which diploma do I want

Which college do I want to attend

Will I even go to college

Will I be radical or apolitical

Where do I go

What do I do

Which path do I choose

Because once I pick one I’ll never be able to go back

I’ll have to follow it till it’s logical finale, either a fancy deathbed or a plain one

But I must continue on this journey

Through rain or snow I must keep moving forward

Because breaking down and giving up will not get me to my desired destination

I must move on, to reach a better place
