The Road

By Sienna Stritter

The path set out before you
Seems built in stone
By expectations from others before you.

Yet it is crucial you understand
The trail made by others
Is for them to follow,
Not for you.

The path laid out in front of you
Is for you
To alter, change, edit, and revise,
Step by step, stone by stone,
Slowly, carefully,
Until the path you build for yourself
Is a road you want to follow.

So prove it to yourself.
Don't follow their way
Make your own.
Excel, thrive, be the best
In your own track.
Create the perfect road
That you will enjoy walking.
