Crossroads By Anonymous

Crossroads

Before me stands a crossroads

One way back to who I was

One way on to who I will be

One way is familiar, easy

One way is dark, mysterious, scary

I stand at the choice between the two

And cry

I must be strong, it's what everyone expects

But no

I want guidance, a hand, to lead me down the path

I know in my heart that won't happen

This journey is mine alone to take

Will I be strong enough to walk the road alone?

The familiar path keeps calling to me,

But I know I can't grow there

I want to grow, be stronger,

Be the woman who I am meant to be

Slowly, baby step by baby step I walk down that dark, mysterious path.

There's a clearing somewhere off in the distance

But it's a long way yet.

Until I reach that, I will keep my head high,

learn when I stumble and rejoice when make much desired progress.
