Roads

Life is decided upon the choices you make You can cover up bad decisions like frosting on a cake Because then you’ll look in the mirror knowing what you did was a mistake You can’t flip it up and down spin it left to right but it still has a chance it could break The choice you make today will affect the road you take tomorrow More than not it will be bumpy but life is only a great big show We have people that attended and leave before it’s over We call those useless and unnecessary people We have people that watch the movie and stay for some credits and leave We call those the users and gold digger’s We have that handful of people that wait till the credits pass by and the screen go black We call those true friends the ones who will always have our back Even though the road may not always be easy and fun We can’t just throw in the towel and say “I’m done” As we swing and miss (a family member dies)…strike one As we swing and miss (life isn’t worth living)…strike two But no matter how many times we strike out we must always look at the sky as if it is blue Because believe it our not if your with only yourself your not making it through So don’t take the easy road just because you can Because that road may lead u on a longer life’s plan Easy doesn’t always mean best It means easy for the time being The road you take now is the one you live with You can’t switch up like an old used car You yourself must set the bar Because no one going to reach up and grab your star So the hard one may seem like a sacrifice but choosing the easy one just because its easy That just seems bizarre © Jeremy Fennell
