deciding to follow my own path

I am on the path to escape death she said.
wondering how she intended to do it
I followed her around for a day or two

you mean escape spiritual death or flesh death?
her freckled face stared at my ignorance
I do not believe in spiritual anything, she said

I felt strongly then
that any escaping she planned to do
was not going to work

so I decided to follow my own path
thinking my ideas are more sound than hers could ever be
