I am standing on the crossroads

Every path has a different direction,

Which one am I to choose?

Which way am I to take? 

I need to know where to go,

I need to know what to do. 

Every where I look

Every path I see,

Is so tempting

Who do I want to be? 

I have a blur image in my mind,

I do not know if the right path I can find. 

There are so many twists and turns

I am afraid I may loose my grip,

There are many things to side track me

If I fail, I am sure to trip. 

I need to stay focused,

Myself I need to trust. 

I am standing in the middle of the road

I either go my way or,

Where ever the crowd takes me

I need to find the right door. 

Life is something to enjoy,

But it is not a toy. 

So far I have been sacrificing my future

And it is at stake,

I let go of the main aim

For petty desire's sake.

It seems I am going for a ride,

But no longer downhill to the ground. 

The captain is now in command

Because it is never too late,

The course of my ship I will decide

So I am setting myself straight. 

I am standing on the crossroads,

I will decide where to go. 

There are many side tracks

I understand now,

There are many detours

But I will not bow.
