I’m struggling
to get by doing what I’m doing,
with my life,
with my love.
Everytime I decide something,
I get blind-sided by what I haven’t
seen;
bringing about a new choice,
a new opportunity.
Whether or not I cease this
occasion depends on the
last turn I made,
at the last stop sign.
I turned right;
But in retrospect,
a lefty would have put me
in an open valley,
with no roads,
a bright sky,
and a brighter future.
I’m thinking of swinging
a 180;
hoping it’ll bring me,
back to
the things I’ve missed
on this winding road,
inevitably leading me back to
the open sky
I’ve been searching for in
this concrete forest…
