Poem -
ITS NEVER WHAT IT SEEMS
A choice to make
THERE BEFORE ME LAYS
A DIVIDED HIGHWAY,
EACH ONE GOINGÂ
THEIR SEPARATE WAY.
THEY CALL OUT TO MEÂ
IN MY DESPERATIONÂ
AND AGONY,
COME WALK WITH ME
AND BE FREE.
ONE WAS A WINDING ROAD,
WITH AN UPHILL CLIMB,
THIS ONE SPOKEÂ
TO MY UNSTABLE MIND.
I MAY SEEM DIFFICULT
TO CLIMB,
BUT WITH ME, YOU WILL FIND
THE STRENGTH FOR TOMORROWÂ
AND PEACE OF MIND.
THE OTHER WAS SMOOTH AND LONG,
IN A DISTANCE,Â
I CAN SEE THE CITY LIGHTSÂ
AND HEAR THE SINGING OF SONGS.
THE CHOICE WAS MADE,
I CHOOSE THE EASY WAY,
AND WITH MY LIFE I PAID,
A DRUG DEPENDENT I BECAMEÂ
FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS.

Wilford a fearless write presented unabashed and certainly warts and all.
But,to put it simply it is never too late to backtrack and aim to correct oneself.
But again, easily said than done, and a choice down to one's desire to find an even keel in life.
Hope all works out and thanks for choosing to write a powerful piece.
Peace be with you.

I appreciate your honest feedback and support Shaun.
Make the best of your weekend.
Peace.
Don't settle, Wilford, push! And push hard. Nothing is over until it is over! x
Amen to that.. Being Me.. you have described the life of millions of people on this planet.
The every day Pushers.
thanks for the encouragement.
Sad write, but so true. Infinite pathway’s infinite destinations.
I like the idea of making choices but I don't think we ever do...to make a real choice you have to know the outcome...life is random, we do what seems appropriate at the time because its seems appropriate to do it or it's our only choice or it is all we are capable of at that time. Nice write x
Interesting take on this one Marion.
Food for thought.
Thank you for sharing.
