The Paths I've Taken

The Heroic SpiritPoetry

When I leave,
Remember the paths I’ve taken.
For this is the reason,
That you have something to believe in.

Closely inspect the wrong turns
That I hastily passed.
Too focused on ultimate destiny
Has blinded the purpose of my past.

Everyone chooses their own journey,
Thus bravely overcome the broken paths.
With courage and gratitude,
Fate is the only barrier that lasts.

So please, do not overlook your mistakes
Nor be afraid to reach your dreams.
The confessions of my hollow life
Is the proof that you must fulfill yours.
