Beginning A Journey Less Traveled

As Life Progresses, Ambitions Are Lost
Our Floating Islands Set Sail Without Us
Stories Are Written By Another Hand
Songs Are Sung By Another Voice
It Could Have Been You

What Could Have Been, Turns To What Can Never Be
As We Travel On The Common Road In Life
Jealousy Mounts Beneath Our Facades
While We Watch Others Steal Our Dreams
If Only You Had Tried

Let Your Life Become A Spectacle
Emerge From The Monotonous Routine
Metamorphisized Into An Individual Or Is It An Abomination
And Become A Template For Those Who Will Try
As You Have To Travel The Road Less Traveled
