I received my diploma in the mail yesterday. The strangest feeling came over me as i cracked open the tube. I had anticipated feelings of joy, happiness, pride in my accomplishment...I had even anticipated feeling sadness that my journey had come to an end. What I had not anticipated was fear, but that is exactly the blanket that covered me as I stared at the piece of paper...fear...fear of what led ahead, fear of disappointing myself and my supporters, fear of the future. I felt my self at a crossroad....
Walked across the stage
Into the yellow wood
Two roads diverged ahead
Contemplating my route long I stood
One road was decorated with approval
Along the side supporters stood
Reason pushed me forward
But my heart turned feet to planted wood
Traditional and Unconventional
The street signs read
Heart and Mind
Each one lead
In a different direction
Father time at my back
Leaving only moments for reflection
Dodging stone hard questions
I choose
to follow hearts path
to never look back
and I'm sure that'll make all the difference
