Crossroads

I stand

Before two doors

Looking back

Upon the path I’ve tread

…

I see it’s worn through the years

Full of potholes and cracks

Heartache and pain

But where the road shines

It’s filled with happy times

…

Looking forward

These two paths before me

A decision to be made

One leads to Dreams

The other leads to Reality

…

The Devil whispers

In my ear

Making promises

He’ll never keep

For things I want

…

But there’s a price

…

Reality tugs at my sleeve

As I reach for my Dreams

Holding me at a stalemate

At the Crossroads

Of Time

…

I shrug off

And step through that other door

Where fantasy becomes Reality

As my Dreams come to life

…

I look back

And tell the Devil:

“You were wrong”

…
