A Road Less Traveled

I have traveled a road less traveled

I want to be different so I take it even though it is gravel,

I am running away from whom I am

The farther I run the more I am dammed,

It seems this road I chose keeps stopping me

No matter what I do to try and get free,

My past still haunts the evil that is so strong

All the roads I take seem to be really long,

If I look deep down inside I can feel what I have done wrong

This road less traveled isn't meant to be

Ill just take the normal road instead and maybe that is meant to be.

Hey Michelle, stopped by for a visit. This is a deeply introspective poem from you; filled with all kinds of dark memories. It is definitely time to make wonderful new memories on that normal road. Beautifully expressed and well written. Be Blessed, Neva
