I’ve always been on this path,

without knowing

if there was a shortcut.

I’ve seen people taking them,

and they seem to be doing so well,

despite the emptiness of their life.

A void that looks incredibly

And powerfully voluntary.

Sometimes I wonder,

whether this is the right way.

Maybe I’m lost,

in the labyrinth of choices.

Maybe I should have been more careful,

there is certainly no way to change

  a choice already made.

I keep wanting to be one way,

although I have fewer and fewer reasons to remain so.

Perhaps, my judgment has become corrupted,

a bit like everything else.

I still have to believe it,

in this street?

Maybe I’ve gotten too old,

to change certain directions,

and chaos,

that has become this life.
