Paths

All around me

In this woodland

There are paths

 

Paths to take you out

Paths to take you further in

Paths that lead to paths

 

I don't want paths

I want to discover

All on my own

 

I don't want the answers

Inside of a once-beautiful place

I want my own chance

 

To find my own way out

And discover my own path

Around the trees

 

I don't want to follow someone

Else's path

It is theirs

 

I will find mine

One that belongs to me

One that will not allow another to follow
