The Road To Travel

The Road To Travel

A Poem by jessjess
"

its about not knowing, not wanting to, and finding yourself.

"

There it is that fork in the road.

But which road should I take?

 

The right path is simple going on straight ahead

The quiet life, the safe choice

The road that is most traveled

 

But to the left there is something different

It twists and turns, you can’t see much ahead

It keeps you on your toes, questioning 

The road that is much less traveled

 

Anyone could be simple

But do I dare be complicated

Do i dare search for something more? 

 

Do I dare taking the long winding road?

I could so easily choose my life’s simple out come

To know where I am going to be sure of what is next

So many before me have made that decision

 

What makes me different from them?

I have a mind, flesh, and a heart that bumps blood throughout me 

If they have turned out fine why wont I?

Should I just stay on the safe side?

 

Am I prepared?

Is anyone prepared for the unknown?

 

It grows darker and if I don’t choose soon

I will have everything chosen for me

I need to choose but the confusions overwhelming

The indecision crawling under my skin.

 

So I take my steps to the left

And use my will power and strength

And I make my life interesting

On the road less traveled

nice variation on 'the road less travelled' and yes life is full of decisions- after all, 'to be or not to be'?
I like your line ' the indecision crawling under my skin ' it evokes the sense of creepiness of not knowing what is next,
also, a strong finish
good work...
