False Path Poem by Barry Middleton

False Path



I die with so much yet undone
I put off a home for a house

I dealt with the world of worry
and lost my peace of mind

the road was a blind dead end
no way to turn back now

I will not have the time I crave
I am too weak for tears

now I can only find regrets
I never knew the answers

what was I supposed to do
I took the false path long ago

Well so many of us can relate to it. I'm terribly bad at making decisions. In the end all you r left with are regrets. A single mistake can determine the course of our life. I think it's convenient to put the blame on destiny. I do that. lol

I'm so bad at making decisions that I quit making them. Glad to find I am not alone.

It reminds me the poem of Frost I translated The road taken....Between the thousands of roads ahead us to be taken we just took by hazard the one we walked.And we do regret thinking of the thousand possibilities lost.But it worths to think that we were happy to have taken one.

Frost's The Road not Taken is one of my favorite poems. He was right, whatever path we choose will make all the difference.
