The Deserted Road
A young ambitious girl stares fixedly at a fork in a deserted road.
A road with two paths,two decisions.
Two decisions that could improve or destroy her future.
Her future, which is slowly beginning to slip away.
Away, this is where she desperately wishes to be.
To be perfect is an honest joke, as she is beginning to see.
to see how her future will work out, that is a distant dream.
A distant dream of hers is far down one of these two paths.
Those paths, she so fixedly stares at, trying to make a decision.
Her decision, which should be so easy.
Easy, which is how life should be for everyone.
Everyone,these are the people who put the pressure on her.
Her life,which is hers to live.
To live or to die that is her choice.
Her choice which is represented by a fork in the deserted road.
A fork in the deserted road that she stares at so fixedly.
