A Wayward Path Towards My Proposed Destiny

　

Around each

And every curve

Is a conquest

Of unexpected turns

Waiting to be explored

Illustrating

How can serenity be obtained

By alleviating deception

From stress and strain

Is the question

I keep asking my self in relation

To what weapon of choice

Can I use

To end this pestilence

While strengthening my voice of concern

To combat the twists and turns

Followed by this fork in the road

I was skeptical

So I asked for directions

Along the way at a gas station

Yet these despised two-faced gas attendants

Don’t want me to experience

My revised plan for my life

I was only looking for reassurance

Even though

My road map says

Go right and stay straight ahead

To reach the X on the spot

Pass the degenerates

Who love to plan and plot

Their desired pitfalls on anyone

Who crosses their path

As they like to watch their schemes

Unfold and come to pass from the sidelines

Yet my defense for them

Lies within my hand of cards

All 13 of them are spades

I’m prepared to trump any raid or plot to sabotage

Me from reaching my destination

I left the gas station

More determined than ever

As I was getting closer

To the exit ramp

My road map now clearly reads

You’re now entering a land of infinite opportunities

Welcome to your proposed destiny

A road to recovery and endless possibilities. I especially appreciate the last two lines in this write, hopefully it will be the road less traveled but infinitely free of stop lights.

Another interesting read. I like that there is a hint of moving forward to better things in this piece - inspirational. I'd like to read something that is different for you. Many of your poems hit on the same topics and with a very similar viewpoint in each. Just my thoughts...
