when you quiet your thoughts
as I woke my thoughts were loud
my mind was tight
so I went for a walk
the same path i always take
I looked to the sky as I never take the time to do
when going from place to place
I pondered on this thing called fate
As I was walking the same path that I always take
I was having an internal debate
for once my eyes were open
I could see each and every face
How many people had walked in my shoes
thinking that same thoughts
pondering the same blues?
I wondered where they had gone
and If I was headed the same way
because when two roads diverge in the woods
you're surrounded by trees no matter which path you take
untill you reach the end
everyday instead of worrying
I only strive to leave a legacy
Not for my praises to be sung
just for those who come after me
to not fear to follow me
starting where my own feet had begun
now instead of thinking on trivial things like fate
or having an internal debate
I walk with my head held high
my smile wide
trying to lead the way for next person behind me
making the best choices
putting in the most effort
being the most positive
And when others ask me how I make it seem so effortless
I will tell them how loud I used to talk
and how wisdom finially crept in when I took the time
and quieted my thoughts
