Paths

Summary:

Which path should I choose?

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Paths

to be bright, bubbly
eager to share my life
daring, outgoing
willing to spend time
making space for others
risky

or

focused inward, muted
watering the seed of the self
not venturing
only have time for me
no space for others
safe

Notes:

At around this point, I haven't been feeling motivated to write, and I have also been feeling uninspired. I ended up getting a nice internship for the summer, but as a result I don't really have the time to put together the rhymes, and I am often quite tired. So, I decided to try my hand at free verse!

As for the inspiration behind this poem, I have been walking the second path for quite some time, and I don't think I am at the point where I can warm up to the first path.

I appreciate you for reading!
