Crossroads [Poem]

The grey clouds constantly crawl forward
I walk beneath them endlessly with my head down
I know what is and isn't to come, it's why I frown
I keep walking, yet I don't know what I'm moving towards

The future seems bleak, but possibilities are endless
With so many paths to choose, how do we know which to take?
My hopes and dreams are being washed out by sadness
I'm so lost at the crossroads that I've forgotten what's at stake

They tell me it's wrong to feel I'm alone
It's different for everyone, their years have shown
However that doesn't stop me from trembling
No one seems to acknowledge the message I am sending

It seems like everyone is distant
No one seems to care, but I am always persistent
That no matter what or how much they say
I never believe a word of it, because there's simply no other way

I've arrived at the crossroads of my "destiny"
My pitiful pride and shame have lead me here, you see
But now that I am here, more than ever before, I still feel lost
With so many others that are the same, what different is my own cost?

These crossroads I see before me are once again blurring
Without any direction at all, it's discerning
A mirage of my dreams, the crossroads disappear again
How many times must I endure this unending pain?

Each chance I take, to every transition I make
All the turns I take are wrong
Can I just find the damn way,
if not for my own sake?!

End
