This word of wander,
Not as easy to do
As it may be to ponder
One life full of dreams
Another filled with distraction,
Makes it hard to choose teams,
Without choosing destruction
Go where the money is?
And risk losing myself?
Or go with my heart,
My passion,
My desire,
And ask, ‘What if?’
But ‘What if?’ I will ask regardless...
Either path will leave me with wonders-
But which to follow?
If I go with one,
I may become hollow...
If I go with the other,
My bank account may be swallowed...
Can one do both?
Or does authenticity risk fading?
Distraction... Destruction...
Focus. Decide.
To try is to decide.
To know is to have done.
To love is to know.
Do I know what I love?
Do I know what I want?
Try. Decide. Focus.
