The Chosen Path

A short poem about the choices we are faced with in life.

Paths throughout life seem unrelenting

Even painful and cruel

Pointing us in the wrong direction at times

Often, this is the road we choose.



Not realizing of the trouble which lies ahead

Ignorant of the pain

Ignorant of the fear

Not knowing how to escape, still we persevere.




Falling upon unforeseen obstacles

Which soon turn to regrets

Turning back no longer an option

This path we have chosen must be followed to the end.




In the distance, foreseeing the final steps towards the end

Now having conquered our demons deep from within

Our qualities still remain intact

We have now acquired the knowledge of how to react.





The quest long, the path brutal

But the lessons learned will never become futile.

To redeem ourself is our strongest tool

When we are faced yet again

Of which path to choose.
