Directionless

When life brings you to a giant fork in the road

How do you determine which way you should go

Is it the appeal of the aesthetic on the path to the right

Or the coziness on the left, where the windings are tight

Is it the feeling you get thinking of one way or the other

Do you consider the weather and how often you’ll take cover

When you find yourself there does your chest get real tight

Do you panic when you worry about which direction is “right”

And when you get on the other side of the turn that you took

Will you get a little ways and want to stop and take a look

Back at the point where your decision was made

Will you ask if this is just a game in this life that gets played

Where there’s a winner and a loser, a number one and number two

Might people stop to stare at a defeated, lost you

Who couldn’t tell which way to go and what things to do

Was your clarity masked by an inner drive to subdue

Will slowing down make you fall over, despite your selection

Will you lose all of your securities and learned protections

Well, please don’t question your choices when the pull told you when

It’s the pull that will tell you, sometimes on a whim

But what you may end up seeing is the pain of being stuck

You’re not supposed to let the choices presented keep you in a rut

This is where self-confidence becomes so very critical

In case in one of your paths appears steeply uphill

A decision will be needed when you get to that space

You’ll have to make a hard choice to get to the next place

And the fork doesn’t mean that you’ll never circle back around

There’s a bigger map of this course that depicts where you get found

So please keep your faith and try to keep moving along

When the path gets real dark don’t just assume something’s wrong

Keep your strength and focus, know that you’re still very safe

So proud of the work you’ve done to get yourself to this place

You can do this. You’ve got it. You’ve always been enough

Don’t lose your hope when and just because the going gets tough
