Path.

One day, I was a child. Then I grew up.


As a child I didn't believe there were second chances

Everything was done, to ensure I caused no wrong.

High expectations from everyone; parents, teachers, students

Risk stood by me, and we wandered down the path of conformance.

One thought led to another

and it all moved so quickly, so fast.

A teenager: isolated, confused, betrayed of all he thought once true

He ran down the path, the path of doubt.

I thought again once more of what they had wanted,

a stereotypical ideal, 'the dream life'.

Until I realised that it wasn't about what they wanted.

So I drew my own path, stood, and walked.
