Standing at the crossroads of love and despair, the wind blows gently through my hair. I look to the left, destruction I see, but to the right the road is long and winding. I cannot quite see where it ends, where the turns lead, and the questions begin. The road to my left, is croocked and short, surely if I walk it, it'll be the end of my world.
I cross my arms over my chest, and c**k my head to the side a bit. Surely if I walk the path of love, it will lead me to the one I love. But from that road, other roads branch...how would I know which path is correct? Different roads mean different people, lifestyles, choices, and memories to be made. If I choose one, I'd sacrifice another....and maybe I'd never see that road again. Sometimes by choosing one, you may never go back. Sometimes choosing one closes the other roads for forever. These ties I never want broken, but a decision I must make.
Perhaps if I neglected to take a road at all.... took to walking the paths untraveled, creating a path of my own. Since I'd be walking off the roads, would my own path still lead me to love and happiness? I don't want to wander my life all on my own. I need the family, the friends, the kinship, the love... my being wouldn't exsist without it.
As I stand here pondering my fate, I suddenly feel the world's weight. All my life's decisions are resting on me. All my love, my hopes, my dreams.... all baggage I must bring with me in this long haul. Hopefully my judgement is correct. Hopefully I've chosen a way to end everything all right. I close my eyes, and take a deep breath. My feet not carry me in my direction. One step, two steps, three steps, four. Now, I could never ask for more.
