A poem of changing life, decisions made, and new beginnings.
Dim & Misty was that morn,
Standing there I felt so torn.

There I stood an easy road,
There was another where’d it go?

Curiosity overtook my concious mind,
So to the fork, where’s it all unwind?

Spnning fast out of comtrol,
I loose my grip upon my soal.

I let it go to roam around
There's something needing to be found.

Lying here until I awake,
I wonder of the road I didn't take.

My Emotions flood & I hold them in,
Don't want the crying to begin.

I must maintain my iron grip,
Before the seams begin to rip.

My feelings mine, not to tell,
But holding them in, it feels like hell.

All I need is one good shoulder,
T’get it all out in the open.

I so yearn for sweet release,
For maybe then I can be at peace.

I need some help, I feel so fake,
I wonder of the road I didn't take.

I feel alone yet loved so much,
I feel I'm falling I need a crutch.

Do I burden those with me,
Or do they care that much for free?

It's hard to accept the love and such,
Recently I've been hurt too much.

The road was forked I picked my way,
Did I choose right that misty day?

My life & loves did I forsake,
When I skipped that road I didn't take?

Now it is a learning time,
A time to feel the reasoned ryme.

Of life & how things went that day,
The time when it all went astray.

I don't know how to really feel,
I really don't know how to really deal.

I'm so confused, and not amuzed,
Should run away, nothing to lose.

I'm not me, I'm full of hate,
Because if the road I didn't take.

Things have changed and now I know,
I wasn't supposed to take that road.

The pain that I have suffered through,
Needed to happen to make me new.

A new chapter has begun,
A chapter of friends, and love, and fun.

I have some who are tried and true,
and one that has helped and seen me through.

Gave me help and much support,
Helped me get through that confuzing fork.

Showed me love and showed me faith,
Cooled me down and slowed my pace.


My emotions still are turned around,
The crying may still be in bound.

Not sure how this all will end,
But I'm glad I have a friend.

For mow my feelings are at bay,
But they will be released one day.

So I'm stronger, I do believe,
My anger now is far beneath.

I will feel better when I awake,
For I am glad that road, I didn't take.
