The Path Behind

The Path Behind

A poem by little_butterfly_14

I walked straight

Nowhere else to go

Didn't look left or right

Just headed for the door

I stopped and stared

At the crossroads in front of me

Which way should I go

Or should I go back and flee

The magic of the mind is fatal

It lets you create a mess

Before you know it, all will be gone

And you'll be left to confess

The straight path looked tedious

The new one got me curious

Little did I know

That this path would be injurious

The path behind failed me

It was crumbling to endless bounds

One step was all it took

And then I could hear no sounds

I walked ahead on the unknown path

Trying to explore

All I saw was land

But it was a whole lot more

I looked around

Afraid to take another step

And it wasn't much longer

Before I was stuck in a web

I still found no end

But I still walked back

I must and will get onto

The path I found black
