Roads not Taken

Unfolding road to another life

I think to take it

My mind speaks twice

So now disparaged, I turn away

Just to take an easy way

Why do we deny

What we want inside?

Why should we lie

When truth keeps us alive?

A day ago

A thought occurred

Whatever happened to that unfolding road?

That street I once thought to take?

That hopeful street I turned away

Is now marred with the potholes

From yesterday
