Crossroad Blues
From the 2013 Falling Skies Collection
Crossroad Blues
I find myself at a crossroad
Right dead in the center
How I even arrived here
Is unbeknownst to me
And yet I'm stuck with the choice
North, south, east, west
Shall I take the road less traveled
Be adventurous and wonder
Or the road quite battered
Trait and proven tragic
Or shall I immerse myself
In the abyss of two unknowns
I hear one leads to such and such
And the other, I don't know
Im standing in this crossroad
No maps that show these roads
Funny how life can crack you
Just when you get control
I worked to get this far
Yet its been undone in seconds
Its destroyed all I love
And ended all my best inceptions
I'm standing in this crossroad
The devil's children staring
I think she finds it funny
That I'm standing here and praying
But I'm going on my own path
Let's see how far I make it
Life is full of chaos
We try so hard to shake it.
He's another poem I plan on adding to the collection. I hope to have it completed by the fall.
