So many paths I could have taken.
So many things I might have tried.
Somehow I ended up where I am
and I just don’t know why.
I could have stayed in Morgantown
and earned my bachelors in getting high,
or gone to Maharishi
and let them teach me how to fly.
I could have done a million things
and I can’t help but wonder why,
why I chose the path I chose,
if this is all still just a lie.
I could have picked up and moved to Arizona
or Charlottesville Va.
lived in a ****** apartment
and worked for minimum wage.
I can’t help but write these stories
and watch them play out in my head
of everything that might have happened
of all the lives I might have led.
And I can’t help but wonder
where I might be today
if I had done things differently,
if I had chosen to walk away.
Instead I’m still here in this same town
where I have always been,
a town that will never understand me,
a town where I just don’t fit in.
All these options I’ve considered.
Still I can’t figure out
what I should be doing with my life
what I’m really all about.
Maybe one day I will find a path
to take me where I want to go
or perhaps I’ll wander all my life.
I guess you never really know.
