Crossroads

Crossroads

You will never see them coming
Yes, the crossroads
Where you have to choose 
Choose a new road to tread in
Lose  what you thought could be "forever"

I don't  want to turn over a new leaf
The "If" ,no ,I don't want to think about it
So I remain stuck at the junction
I auction all my better days to the sands of time
Time will tell

So I choose to live the moment
My decision?
Don't comment
How can one just get rid of so easily?
Dear Thought don't judge me
You ought to understand
Understand I'm human too
I might be sulking,
Gulping ocean waters so sour
But life playing its mind games on me,
Pass by the hour
I find myself in need of the candy too

Handy? I know the winds will be 
Will push me to choose 
Until then, I will live by the little strength left within
I will watch them,
The roads 
Their vastness
Spreading out to the four corners of the earth
For now, I choose not to move
