Along came I, to a split in the road
And sadly, I knew not which way to go
Would one be harder, and filled with regret
Might one be the key to lessening my load
The mystery confounded even the part of me I thought wise
I stared into the darkness of one's immersiveness so vast
A shrill feeling overwhelmed as my eyes were lost in the abyss
Would this road be my downfall, forcing me to face my failed past
It did not seem to be the one to hold my destination, my bliss
About the other
Desperate to know, I started toward the other direction, still scared
What if it were the road of deception and darkness that I feared
I thought of my past, and realized I'd grown up quite unprepared
As the point of no return quickly, and without warning, inevitably neared
My heart raced
Two roads forward, and one road back to nowhere
If this one swallowed me, would I be able to escape
To have picked the wrong path seemed as if fate were unfair
If only life were such a thing you could easily remake
The dreading of fate
Roads get darker as your weary soul travels this land
Darkness does not tell of the troubles that lie ahead
For darkness rests quietly until it destroys what you planned
Your decisions, not fate, are going to be what leaves you for dead
The choice was mine
