The chance existed
Once
To take take
The road less chosen
And follow a pipe dream

But I didn’t take it

Dare I wish
To go back
And find that fork
In the road

Turn my feet the other way
And not follow
The one path I thought
I was supposed to
At the time

God only knows
Where I would have
ended up had I
Followed my heart instead

We are told
Not to regret our choices
That they make us
Who we are
But what if
Who we are
Isn’t anywhere near
What we imagined
Ourselves to be

What then
