No Turning Back


Picture this

Your on a winding, slithering road called Life

Up ahead, you see a fork in the road

You cannot make out the wording on the signs yet

But you notice the vast majority of people  following the paved road to the left

Every once and a while

You see a person split off and walk alone down the dirt road to the right

A few moments pass and the wrighting on the signs become ledgible

Elegantly arched over the left road are the words "Who Society Wants You to be"

On the other road, the sign is much less graceful

Crudely handwritten on a cardboard sign leaned against a tree are three simple words

"Who You Are"

Nestled between the two roads is a third sign that states "Who Are You?"

That's up for you to decide what road you go down

Just make sure it's the right one

Because once you go down a road, theres no turning back
