| A FORK IN THE ROAD |
which way to go? one leads to sunshine the other leads to snow There is danger down one of these trails The irony of it never fails Down the other is a pleasant fate but which one is which? I vacillate If I make a mistake could cost me my life and add much grief like a twist of the knife But if I choose correctly It could bestow upon me gifts Luxury, riches and gold but do I really need this? I sit in contemplation weighing out the choice to make I wish I could just choose already for mine and heavens' sake I could decide not to choose at all To not gain a thing nor take a great fall Left is right, right is left this confusion has got me peeved all this never knowing, curiosity and intrigue If I choose the path less traveled I will be safe...tis true but never see the wonders of the other that is new but which path is really darker and more dismal to walk through and if I take its counterpart Perhaps it could be bad too Maybe the darker one is the right way and the other my true foe see, that's the way irony works that's the way it seems to go Shall I flip a coin and choose the path and let fate decide my way? But would that be a smart move on my part? honestly, I cannot say What if fate should guide me to my very destruction and end Id rather choose my own path to take It's trails I would defend And so instead of walking either of those paths I decide to walk down my own I never walk down the path less traveled only ones that are completely known.
