Always Forward

Just when I thought
that I knew the way
A fork in the road
a glitch in my day

Forced to examine 
the roads up ahead
Not knowing for sure
a feeling of dread

The longer I stand 
to ponder the trail
The further away
the ship seems to sail

One step forward
then maybe another
One foot it goes
in front of the other

Vital is not
the path that you choose
But stopping too long
your destined to lose.
