The Path Less Travelled.

Tired of battling, I paused on the crossroad of life
Not knowing for sure which road to take
For the one that took me down the oft walked path, 
Was lined with immense heartaches and pain.

So I took the path that gave me independence
Freed me from all my shackles and chains
To which Id been bound in my days all along
And so now alone, I walk the path less travelled.

I broke all rules that tied me down and I
Refused to care about what people think of me
And my carefree ways, for I've made up my mind
To walk the path that freedom brings.

I'm a free bird and I love to sing
And fly high in the open sky.
Life is beautiful, a song and a dance
Rich colours now brighten my days.

There is sunshine bright all the way I walk
And because I have learnt to love my life so
I now see love in all that surrounds me
That earlier seemed all sorrow and pain.

There are times when being alone can also loneliness mean
But though I'm alone,
I'm surrounded by love
And that from life is all I need.
So I walk the path less travelled, that for me, independence brings.
