《Poems》One Spark

A road stretches
Across the ground we walk.
We follow
Without any questions.
Straight and narrow,
A dirt beaten path
With cracks like lightning
And weeds like a jungle.
Jagged rocks
Dig into our skin
Leaving little red patches
In our wake.
We keep our heads bowed
And keep on walking,
Like they have taught to us
From the people before them.
But some of us have the courage
To raise our heads in defiance
And dare to step off
The dirt beaten path.
We battle the road of risks
And of broken hearts and tears.
We climb over expectation's wall
And turn our backs on the mundane.
Tasting the sunshine in the air,
We take the road less traveled.
Free from the weight of the world,
We live and we don't look back,
Simply because,
We don't want to.
