Chapter 618

Crossroads

Everyday life can grind to a halt
When confronted with life's crossroads
One can look in utter disbelief
As everything around them erodes

The choices seem slim when the crossroads are
The junction of 'nowhere' and 'dead end'
Where is there to go at that point
There is nothing on which to depend

It all seems like losing
Life is about making choices
Things always seem confusing
As our head hears many voices

Which way is up
Which way is down
We are forced to wear a frown
Instead of a beautiful crown

Does one listen to other's commands
As their life around them implodes
Or do they stand tall and affirm
As they make their own crossroads

Nobody
