A Real Question

Currently thinking about
The road I’d mistaken
For the road I did not take

I’m going down the same road
Just a detour around the lake
That I was too scared to cross
Too lazy to take a second look…

It was a little deep
The mountain I went around
Was only a hill that looked steep
The cliff looked like the end…

Am I fool because I didn’t take that leap?

I didn’t think of a way to cross the lake
What could’ve been a few hours
Fell into days

Why didn’t I just go up that hill?

The reward would’ve been just over the top
Now I’m dwelling at the cliff.

What do I do?
