The Turn
seeing a bend in the road
does not always mean
you should make a turn
because it could be the wrong one
it might be the one leading to the
fires of hell
where you will eternally burn
you have heard people saying
“do not always follow where the path you may lead”
but what if the straight path
is the one that will make you succeed
because sometimes walking straight
and keeping the focus
shows that you are a dreamer
one who knows what they want
maybe you have a seed in your hand
and that straight path is leading you
to the garden of Eden where you will dig
a hole and plant
and it will someday produce a strong root
one that will manifest into
a tree and bear for you good fruit foro your harvest
so this lesson we should all learn
that sometimes you don’t have to take that turn
because some took it and painfully fell
some never made it
but some shook the dust and lived to tell
You see!
Sometimes you don’t have to take that turn
But if you’re brave enough
Please take it
at your own risk
Unfortunately
you might not make it
And you might not shake
the dust and live to tell
