The Journey

At times its easier to write things down than ever say it
At times its easier to fantasize than face reality
And, at times, more often than not its these paths we all chose to take. It helps buffer our falls, cushion our heartaches, provide an outlet, a safe retreat.
Cause reality doesn’t always go the way we hope, it isn’t always a pretty road.
Although, some believe that its the journey that counts more than the destination.
A journey that could be filled with potholes, detours, and at times even deeply entrenched pits.
Pits that could hold you down for a lot longer than you could possibly imagine.
If you do manage to climb your way out, rest assure its one road you’ll never visit again in your life.
However, Its sometime’s actually funny how when presented with options, we settle for a tad bit of resemblance to that rocky path.
Its our innate nature, a way humans are wired, to fall pry to familiarity. With a misconception that the second time around you will be wiser and would have a chance -rarely received- to correct the past mistakes.
While some run around in circles, for a few others a second time around loses its charm.
It provides them the closure they long for, a sense of stability they seek.
For now they can move on to parallel roads that would never intercede. Into the darkness of the unknown, reassured by the strengths of their beliefs.
