Confusion by Anonymous

Two roads lay before me

To break the path I'm on

One dark, sinister, and rocky

The other one well-worn

One road I am to choose

The decision mine to make

Yet I sit here in confusion

Which road should I take?

I sit by the side pondering

The decision leaving me torn

Different travelers pass me by

Taking the road that's well-worn

They travel down the easy road

Never pausing in their stride

The decision for them is easy

Yet I can't seem to decide

The well-worn path looks peaceful

No obstacles seen to be won

Yet will that road have been the best

When my traveling is done?

The darkened road looks frightening

Obstacles seen everywhere

Yet will I come out a better person

If I choose this one of the pair?

I sit and look down each road

Feeling that I should wait

And leave it in another's hands

The decision give up to fate

Yet I know I cannot do this

I am the one that must weigh

The consequences of my decision

Face the road come what may

I am still sitting by the road

Watching travelers choose one

Will I ever make my choice

Before my time on earth is done?
