Life

Two paths at the end of one I believe to be light, But filled with thorns and the darkest of night, Path unchosen the unknown, Whats the true measure of how ones grown, Is it the choices they make, The path that they left or the one that they take, The strength of the individual and how they wont break, Or the experiences left behind in their wake, If I go the other path Ill always wonder what it is that I lost, And if the decision was worth the cost, But a saving grace for myself so my heart wouldn't frost, Walking a line I shouldn't have crossed, Not my fault but something that was forced, Why is it the hardest choices you find, Often divide the heart and the mind, Both conflicted on which path to take, Is one trying to save the other from making a mistake, One knowing what is better for the other ones sake, Shielding them from pain sure to undertake, Cant find the answers when you don't have the questions, Only reference is What is learned from lifes lessons, And how they've molded and made their impressions, From past mistakes and lifes transgressions, Should I take my money off the table and hedge my bets, Life is harder to live living with regrets, Wondering if I endured a little bit more, Would it be like forever drifting in the sea and finally finding the shore? Funny thing in life is you never can be sure, Whatever decision made you end up wishing you made the other one more, Or is it overanalyzed by a sick mind for which there is no cure, If that's the case what is it all for?
