The right or wrong way

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.

That was my favorite couplet, it was complex and beautifully simple at the same time... loved it!

Nice idea! Life shouldn't always be planned, beauty lies in the unexpected.

Great poem, Ruby! I can feel the thought and care in every word.
"Turn left, turn right we let it steer.
To miss a turn, we start to fear."

Has to be my favourite verse. You definitely can feel the anxiety building up.
