You know what's great?
It’s being pushed aside like
dirt being swept away by
a hag from her dusty
cabin.
But just because I’m smaller
than dirt doesn’t mean they
can treat me any less
than those with gold and
silver.
I know they deserve better.
I know that now.
And a mere speckle like
me is no match to
those kings and princes surrounding
them.

You know what’s nice?
It’s being talked to like
a parasite leeching from
some other guy’s
rewards.
But they know I’m not.
I know I’m not.
They should even know better,
or they should not have
spoken to me at all.

You know what’s awesome?
It’s being nice but get
unappreciated.
Life’s unfair, I should
have known that.
I should have known better.
No wonder it has become
a cliché.
But I can’t take this
crap from life.
I never sowed crap,
why should I reap crap?

I know what’s great!
I know what’s nice!
I know what’s awesome!
How about I serve you
a meal with your words
on it?
Oh someday,
you’ll gonna have to eat
them.
Take them back
or you’ll be having
the best dish
of your life.

It is highly probable that at some point in our lives, we come to a crossroad where make decisions from where our next journey would have to spring from. These are the turning points of our lives that every choice we make is crucial for our future voyage. A single mistake would eventually lead us to dead end, a very wearing thing to happen. We could retrace our steps or just continue on another path and hope that somehow; our destination is just around the corner. Nonetheless, it all starts at that critical moment.

At that moment, it is best to first, stop and congratulate yourself for coming this far. But always remember that this is merely a crossroad, a mere break from the unending walk of life. Never fall for the trap of what I like to call, the “Fool’s Goal.” Discern whether this is what you were aiming for. As far as I’m concerned, this is just a momentary halt, for me to check my progress and determine what move to do next. Then look and listen to everything around you. That is how you can gather information about your current standing. Be sensitive and be observant. That is how we can properly assess our next move. Then go for it. No holding back now. It’s the perfect time to take the plunge.

This part is the most critical part, because this is where you take the risk. The plunge is the gamble, for we never know whether we’d land on our feet or land on our head (Ouch!) but we just do it. It’s the faith that allows us to take it. It is that mindset that keeps us bold in every crossroads we face.

“EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT FOR ME.” That’s what I’d like to think. Nothing can harm me, nothing can hurt me. Every step I take is a step closer to everything I ever dreamed of. Every move I make is a journey towards my goal. True, I may have fallen and stumbled several times but those were all part of the design. It was intended to be there to teach me how to stand and get back on my feet.

I have ceased for a long while now, for I have dreaded this moment where I have to face this conundrum. I have stopped and moved on, stopped and moved on. This time, will be different. There will be no stopping me now. I now believe that no matter what road I choose, I will get there, roadblocks and dead ends included. I may get lost or I may stray but at the end of the day, I will be where I am supposed to be.

That is my resolve.
