I once had a blatant choice,
Between a highway and a forest..
All my friends took the highway,
But I guess I was never a conformist..
The highway although perfectly fine,
Wasn't taking me to my destination..
It was then, when I realized,
My dreams were of a different creation..
Their purpose were different from mine,
And the highway solved them all..
In the forest, for long I was stuck in tree line,
Often blocked out of path but I managed to crawl..
Events turned out to be as such,
Slowly and steadily I got acquainted with my path..
And the forest taught me so much,
Although it wasn't without some scathe..
Finally when the forest came to an end,
My purpose was within my reach..
And waiting there were my friends,
Happy and proud of me one and each..
They were happy with their journey,
And I was content with mine..
Although some of it was a bit thorny,
But eventually we all settled on cloud nine!!
