The Path Less Traveled
  We are the shadows that stray from one road to another
  Hoping to find our place in life
  Yet we see that path
  The one that everyone is afraid to even glance at
  We are the cat that’s afraid to cross the stream
  That’s afraid to get all of ourselves soaked
  But we are the dove in a flock of crows
  Unfit, no longer existent to them, just another human in the world
  Again we gaze over our shoulders
  Wondering, questioning ourselves
  Is this even worth it?
  Can I take up my own cross?
  We are a toddler that’s taking their first step into the unknown
  We are unsure, first we hesitate
  Then we stumble
  Then we fall...
  Suddenly we see a helping hand
  We are the crippled man
  We struggle with a decision, afraid to to understand
  Shall we continue to ascend?
  Or look back over our shoulders and stay?
  Reaching up, we decided to take that first step
  Together, we start walking away from everything and everyone
  Step into that one road
  That has the surface of marble stone

I have a personal experience with travelling the common paths before and hope to go where I want and need to go, not because everyone is travelling the saame paths.
