One foot in my future path
The other one in my past
Two lives before me
At the crossroad

I stand here, torn between two worlds
One, a life I've always known and held dear
The other, a road untraveled, full of potential
A new horizon, waiting to be discovered

One pushes me
Into the land of prospects
A new beginning, a fresh start
The other holds me
Like I have unfinished business
A life half-lived, with much to be done

One is a path I've known
Familiar in its ways
The other, I'm yet to explore
Unknown and uncertain
Yet full of promise

One a cozy cocoon of comfort and care
The other, a courageous call
Like a sky full of sparkling stars
Shining and shimmering in the shade

The past and the future, pulling at me
One, a tether to my roots and my history
The other is a call to adventure and new experiences

Clean the slate and start afresh
Easier said than done, as the memories flood back
Echoes of the past whispering in my ear
Asking me to stay
And to not let go

Memories hold me back
But new ambitions push me away
A push and pull, a battle for my soul
The decision I must make
An overwhelming task

Forever is not my place here
A reminder that change is the only constant
That life is a journey
With twists and turns
And that nothing stays the same

The crossroad before me, a blank canvas
Waiting for me to paint my future
To choose my own path, my own destiny
To follow my dreams
Wherever they may lead

The crossroad behind me, a distant memory
A new road lies ahead
And I'll walk it with pride, with purpose, and with joy
Towards a future that's waiting for me

But for now, I'll take a moment, to breathe and reflect
To listen to the voices within
To hear the whispers of my heart
And the echoes of my soul
I will be still
For a short space of time
And decide what's best for me
And me, and me!
