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
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
