unnamed

Somebody tell me what’s wrong

I seem to have lost my way

The urge to get away from a crowd is strong

And alone my far flung thoughts lead me astray

I’m headed down memory lane

Down a boulevard of broken dreams

I have an insight into what might have been

And the bag of choices un-taken is bursting at its seams

Trying to figure out how I got here

The paths so crisscrossed, it’s a maze

I see the paths I almost took, and the ones I did

Smiles await me at the end of the lanes

And not always at the ends of the ones I walked

I wonder what I’d do,

If I could go back and rewrite the past

Would I take on paths un-trodden?

Or would I still be here wondering?

Choices made, shattered dreams, broken promises

Will I ever know where I went wrong?

Maybe if I’d tried harder, held on longer?

Maybe I gave up too soon,

Or maybe, not soon enough?

Note: The first stanza is what I’m feeling right now, the rest sort of just flowed out.

Mindless rambling.
