Crossroads

Which way should I turn?

Towards the road that excites me,

or the path that calms my mind.

Should I tread the way that pushes me to get better,

or the way that makes me feel great about myself?

One path is an undiscovered treasure trove,

while the other bears fruits I have savored for long

Thoughts of one give me goose bumps,

while the memories of the other relaxes me to no end.

One filled with wonders that I stare at wide eyed,

And the other so secure that I soak in it with eyes closed.

Should I turn towards exploring and discovering?

Or towards the embrace of years of familiarity.

Should I be with the new?

Or with what I always knew.

Which way should I turn?

Towards the road that takes me to a new dream

Or the path that lets the heart flourish in all that I like.
