The Road Less Traveled

Though life has been an incredible journey,
her job as a prosecuting attorney,
lost its appeal and was no longer her dream.
To look for adventure; search for the extreme~
Was now the motto for her new existence.
Why remain on the path of least resistance?

Needing to be free, she chose to hit the street,
with no more than her clothes and shoes on her feet.
Down the road less traveled, she's well on her way;
pursuing destiny, keeping fear at bay.
A path of rediscovery, this mission
of hope; her vision will come to fruition.

Heading to the horizon, she's taking charge.
Jumpstarting her soul, it needed a recharge!
In the dawn of this fine day, she starts anew~
Initiating change, and a shifting view.
At the crossroad of life, she won't unravel.
This is right for her; this road she must travel.
