Kentuckygirl68's blog: "My Poetry"

So many thoughts

Jogging across the highways of my mind

Illegal U-turns

Going the wrong way down one-way streets

Backtracking on the road I already took

Circles I've repeated a thousand times

Almost regretting the decision to turn left instead of right

But maybe

This is how it's supposed to be

Maybe I really was supposed to make that

Accidental left-hand turn

To the destination I never wanted to come to

Maybe I should just keep accelerating

Because there's always a way out of that small town

In the middle of nowhere

I can't let faulty directions become the only directions

I have to make new ones and navigate my way out of those

Last mistakes

Those

'Rough Road Ahead' warning signs

And think of where I could really be heading

No matter how treacherous those mountains are

The terrain is only part of what makes the trip worthwhile.
