Still Choosing the Road to Travel


Two roads diverged on a path they say,

People going left and right, so decisive.

I guess I will lay here and watch the go-getters get their go,

No need to fret, no need to pray.

Great men know their strengths, and also their vices,

I sit in the shadow waiting for a chance to show.

 

Break free one day and unleash the shackles,

I won't abide to the paths set before me.

I stomp my feet and am not measured in meters,

Imperial ideas here creating a mental empire, spitting fire,

Why have constraint, why not be free,

Well one reason, freedom is not free, 

To be successful, I'll continue doing me.
