The One-Way Road
I stood across a fallen branch;
Deliberating the two pathways,
I could keep walking the wretched path
Or perhaps stay still to never experience the wrath,
But the path forward beheld the golden fruit Yet, the path I had followed could take me back to my roots.
The idea seemed what Frost had discovered Yet it seemed in my life too bleak to be recovered,
It's a one-way road
Dilemmas build, Dilemmas grow
But what? Oh, what would my existence be if I never reimburse what I owed?
About this poem
This poem was written at a time full of uncertainties. At that moment, moving forward felt difficult due to the crises that stared back at me, but it was through insight and understanding that I knew I had to keep going and that is why I wrote this poem.
