Whispers arise from the sidewalks. There are footprints stained into The concrete where my feet gently stand. Glancing into the distance, I realize that many people have walked this path before. Once I thought that I was the only one. These people, were they once as broken as I am? Do any of these faded souls still stroll Down this cracked path, as I do? These voices whispering into my head Are telling me that I shouldn't be here. This is the wrong path to take. Like I always have, and always will, I have ignored their requests and continued with my journey. The stars are behind clouds tonight. There is no light in the sky, But there is in fact a bright image At the end of this broken road. Footsteps are slowing down. Prints of prescience are turning around. Should I continue, or should I twist my posture And make my way back to the beginning? Should I listen to those voices that have warned me? My left foot seeps into the ground once more, Before I make my decision.
