The path I choose
I stare at my ceiling
watching the fan as it spins.
Always the same direction
same speed
never changing
unlike myself.
My direction constantly changes.
"Should I fall in love or be alone?"
"Should I devote myself to a faith or continue questioning?"
"Should I do this or forget that?"
I can spend hours pondering these questions,
making my course go back and forth
like the waves along the shoreline.
My speed is just as inconsistent.
Sometimes I'll stop
and enjoy the moment I live in,
while others I barely notice those around me,
as I try to move towards
the better tomorrow I always dream of.
I then close my eyes
and wonder when i will truly find myself.
But until then
I'm going to make choices
that will someday bring myself and others happiness.
...At least that choice of mine has never changed.
