The Path

Walking a path
That leads her to her future
To where she has always planned to be
Where her family wants her
And where she thinks she'll be happy 
The best place for her
A path of perfection 
That lies before her
Yet in the end
She falls into her own misery 
Crashing everything 
That meant anything
And turning her perfect path
Into an imperfect memory
