What if I had gone Down a different path.

Down a road that lies

Only in my past.

Who would I be

Now that it's too late.

Where would I be

Had I tempted fate?

Useless questions

I ask and wonder.

The answers allude me

As I sit and ponder.

My clearest thoughts

Only show the strife

Caused by letting fear

take control of my life.

I lacked the courage

To take some chances

To believe in myself

And the gifts God granted.

I chose to take comfort

In the familiar road

And pass opportunities

To mature and grow.

So there I sat

Day after day.

Doing the mundane

As my life wasted away.
