The Road Less Traveled By


In the heart of the soul I came to a fork in the road One path full of grief and sorrow the other full with forgetfulness If I take the sorrow I am afraid I may not live to see tomorrow For my soul may be overwhelmed If I take forgetfulness I will not remember all the love all the passion The misunderstood but righteous individual All that has made me who I am I make my decision in silk silence And I do so with pride With the path I am going with some may question my sanity For I will not walk it sullenly But graceful with agile I have chosen grief and sorrow because in time forgetfulness would have soon lead me there and if my soul cannot make it to tomorrow Just know I am at peace
