Poetry is an Art Form of it’s Own: Stuck at a Crossroad

Stuck at a Crossroad

Stuck at a Crossroad.

Don’t know which way to go.

One road’s expected and predictable,

While the other may seem unforeseen yet intriguing.

Stuck at a crossroad.

Both are new and inviting,

But one’s scary and exciting.

I say is it even worth trying

Or do I just go with the flow?

Stuck at a crossroad.

This decision determines what’s next,

Do I do what people expect?

Could this be a big mistake I make,

Or is it a worthy risk I will take?

Stuck at a crossroad.

I feel as if I need to move in great haste,

But with elegance and grace

Lead with your heart they say

And everything will fall into place.
