I walk and I walk and walk
And when I near the fork in the road
I stop
No signs
No markers
(confusion)
(distress)
I turn around
The path behind me has been wiped away
I cannot go back
But how can I go forward
A bright, smooth road
A dark, misty, treacherous road
Choose the bright road
Safe, but no surprises, no adventure
Nothing to learn from
(well maybe it itself will fork later on)
Choose the dark road
Obstacles to overcome, lessons
Monsters and fabled treasure
(monster - I, or the treasure?)
In frustration I cry out
'Where am I to go! What am I to do!'
I sit
Nothing behind me but memories
Everything tangible in front of me
I am lost
Perhaps I wish the monsters to guide me
I don't know, I...
(confusion)
(distress)
(frustration)
I cry
