Instead of counting your days, make your days count.


I walk down 
The long and ominous road
Heading nowhere in specific
I see no footsteps anywhere
Only mine

At the cross path
A long while back 
There were many roads
Yet I 
Being my usual self
Chose the abandoned path
Everyone went the other way
Leaving me to be different

I walk along this path
Thinking maybe it was the wrong choice
Then I see it
What I've been waiting for
The one thing to look forward to
I begin to walk faster
Racing toward my place
My new life
Apart from all others
 
And I being different from the rest
Walked the less traveled path
Where not many have gone before
But I have chosen it
As a sign of difference and originality
For I am very different from the others

I'm different and I was inspired at the time.
