I knew it the second it happened.
That quiet feeling
not loud, not dramatic,
just a shift in the air
that said
"this isn't it."
But I kept going.
Because turning around
feels like admitting
I messed up,
like every step forward
was a mistake.
So I drive deeper
into somewhere unfamiliar,
trying to convince myself
"It's just a different path."
But deep down,
I know the truth
not every road leads somewhere better.
Some just lead you
farther away
from where you are meant to be.
