Analysis of Wrong roads chosen.
So here I am at a crossroad,
Wondering which ways best,
The one that leads to happiness,
Is that north, east, south or west.
I know I should just choose one,
But I'm over choosing wrong,
This road that I choose next,
Needs to lead me, where I Belong.
As I sit here in this silence,
I look back throughout my life,
At all the battles I've overcome,
And all chaos and strife.
Then realization hits me,
And I realize I am strong,
I see that even wrong roads chosen
Have led me, where I belong.
I am a mum, and a daughter,
A sister and true friend,
And though I feel so lost in life
On me, you can all depend.
So let's all make some changes,
And get to know and love ourselves,
Our challenges make us strong and wise,
So don't stay stuck on the shelves.
I'll step outside my comfort zone,
And find my place in this world,
I know that I am more than
A sad, lost and lonely girl.
Now I want to thank you all,
For In my life, you've played a part,
And I love and care for all of you,
With my body, mind and heart.

About this poem
This is my poem that I wrote while blaming myself, as a mum and inhome carer, for choosing the wrong paths in life that my daughters and mother have had to follow me down, while I was writing this poem, I had a realisation, that even the wrong roads, have lead us all to a place that we belong, and every wrong path has lessons to learn, hence, is not a wrong path/road atall.
