Fool's Gold
Fool's gold...
In the middle of cross road I stand.
My head growing heavier as I stare
at various paths,
Leading to different directions
with various results of course.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
As the time waits for no man,
I knew I have to make a massive decision
A decision I have to live with it's consequences.
True gold or fool's gold will I reap?
Befuddling thoughts kept colliding through my head.
As I hear voices whispering through my listening organ.
Saying "take this path" , "take that path".
The question that kept piercing through my head was...True gold or fool's gold will I reap?
I prance as I walk into the path of my choice
with the sweat racing all over my body.
My fragile heart sinked into the pool of sorrows,
As I realised that I have
A fool's gold on my palm.
