Misdirection

Strange place, strange ways, each stay away!

Then why are there two roads to take?

The maps and paths, and followed tracks.

And Google, Waze, we trust their facts.

Turn left, turn right we let it steer.

To miss a turn, we start to fear.

Across to tolls, collect control.

Like little soldiers, do as told.

Planned flights and crowds, comfort in traps.

Are we confined in our skin wraps?

Some lost, pretend to just be found.

Some found, act lost, pretty profound.

To take that step, the unprotected. 

To turn towards, the unexpected.

A wasteful plan, we must forget it.

Insane repeat, and do we test it?

Misdirection, to find us love.

Misdirection, to find us trends.

Misdirection, finds ideas.

Misdirection, to find us friends.

Misdirection to free in stress.

Misdirection leaves no regrets.

Let one misdirection find you.

Let one misdirection guide you.

Let one misdirection define

And be the reason, you are you.

Hope, fear, facing the unknown all in one! I really enjoyed reading your poem. Very well written.

There's no way you wrote this. This is beautiful. Sounds like society. Absolutely amazing.

Love the cadence here! This is a poem that deserves to be heard aloud. And you've put a great twist on the adage "Not all who wander are lost."
