One step forward

Wed, 09/09/2015 - 13:10 -- Kelcie

I fall upon my knees 

at the fork of a winding path

begging for directions 

when i don't know who to ask

 

Neither show a sign of life

nor have they been worn

a choice for my own mind

of which i am torn

 

I plead for a sign

reluctant to decide

too far to turn back

too open to hide

 

which brings happiness 

which will bring pain

I wait for an answer

though i feel I'm insane

 

The one on the right 

I start to move toward

I don't know what's ahead

but I must move forward

 

A future open ended 

who knows where I'll go

It may be a dead end

but if i don't move I'll never know
