The road to the future

The road to the future

The path ahead of me
Goes on and on;
Twisting and turning,
And sometimes unchanging.
I am now at another crossroad,
Another parting of the ways;
The only decider of my future
Is what choice I make,
What I end up doing today.
One road is the dusty road:
Well trod and monotonous,
Conventional and promising
Safety from uncertain times.
The other road is the one lightly trodden,
It is still green and mysterious.
Unknown and uncharted,
It promises many things:
Glorious success,
Devastating defeat,
Or even the cloak
Of public anonymity.
Yet defeat is attained,
Only if you lose heart
Halfway through the journey.
So this decision I face,
The choice that will eventually
Decide what will be.
So I stand here and wonder,
Is my choice the right one?
