The Worthwhile
When life has given a turn or a split on the road
The walk is very confusing and frustrating
A change is more critical and sometimes painful
The idea of being you is masked along the way
Nothing seems right in this choice that change
Wishing for a straight narrow path everyone wants
Wants in this life is not equal to what you need
I believe I made choices that can be regrettable
Undeniable, and mostly unexpected in my life
I turn ahead to look before I make the choice
Sometimes hesitant and meager to know
The outcome which lie in the turn or split path
Afraid that I have fallen in the walk of life
This method is a learning point and a device
Device of horrific trauma that next time
The choice you make will be so, so, so right
I am deep in thought when I notice time
Time has passed long enough and making change
Noting everything is part of the way to look back
Never really leaving that path, the path is narrow
Narrow as the line that you record on paper
Records of the journey in life is pointed out
Many, many times that you realize that change
Friends, family, growth, the world has its will
No choice but to walk every path with intent
Some will lead and some will stray, and that is the way
But your choice your light is your way to see
In the path or destiny, frankly life is all about choice
Life is all about change, a quiver of breath that might hurt
Accepting life is hard; making your own path is hard
Wondering if spending time with the right people
Waking up to the right side of the bed, and hope
Everyday a moment that people breathe in your air
Is even yours to breathe you wonder, but this is life
To see people, animals, and plants grow to full
It is the curve in the path or split on the road
That changes every day without control of your will
Just to see things in life is the worthwhile the change
