Crossroads

Which way shall I go?
Should I go left? Right? Straight?
I’m sure you know what I’m asking.
I’m sure you can relate.

I’ve reached crossroads in my life.
This decision will alter my trail.
Which path will lead to success?
Which paths are of no avail?

I started this road with certainty,
With feelings of pleasure and pride.
Now, however, I’m not so sure,
Because people around me have lied.

I do not know the truth,
Of life from all these lies.
Now I’m very hesitant,
About which path here wise.

I surely can’t go straight,
Because I know I need to turn.
I cannot keep going like this,
When I still have much to learn.

I know my life can be better,
Better than the shambles it’s in.
But which way should I go?
My patience is wearing thin.

Left or right, I do not care
Because either way I’ll get,
Problems that I’ll have to fix,
Problems that I won’t forget.

But I’ll also get times,
Which will make me smile.
Times that I’ll remember,
And cherish all the while.

So at these crossroads I am standing,
And left or right, I must choose.
Either which way, my mind is set
Life is a battle I will not lose. .
