Fork in the Road

My life layed out on the forest floor
Cut a trail most unchanging and straight
Which I followed faithfully on
Mourning it's length and my heartbreaking fate-
To follow forever and never see dawn.

But now there is change in this forsaken path!
It's splitting in two. I don't know the way -
Yet I'm thrilled for the change- and for the choices! -
For the chance to leave, to go, and to stray!
- Not so alone in a forest of voices.

On one hand is darkness; my former trail -
The one on the left - the opposite - light!The choice - obvious, exciting and new!
This is my way out, away from the night!
Hope is colored in a beautiful hue!

But what do I hear? A voice or a thought?
And what do I see? A fork in the road?
I continue on at a much slower rate -
No longer pushed on by the high I rode
And I realize the path that I follow is STRAIGHT.
