Crossroads of Life

When trying becomes a staple
And you get stuck 
Stuck in the wheel of tries 
Do you then joyously try again?
Or would you go back and live 
Live as a kid
Taking life as it comes
Living life forgetting the adjacent past

The vision of the future though
Can you let it go? 
You’ve lived this moment
Lived it in anticipation, envisioned it 
Worked hard to turn it to a reality 
You can almost taste it
But what if?
What if there are failures awaiting
A magnitude of them
Do you waste your life then?

Or do you move on
Move on to other things
Open a door to a different reality
Find a different adventure
A different motivation
Or pickup your past desires
The ones that knocked your door
When you were still a kid
Living those real life fantasies 
And turn that into a reality?

You stand yet again
In the crossroads to pick
Stuck between what’s expected 
And perhaps the right way
Or to pick a new dream
That’s yet to materialize 
Which way do you go then
Is it the path dictated by fear?
Or the one that lacks destination?

When life becomes a staple
And you get stuck
Do you pick the expected?
A safer life that is
Or do you go all in
Towards a new dream? 
A dream that’s yet to come!
