HONOR THY PATH

---

And with every potential for failure

I chose to give up on that path

I continued to think the grass could be greener when I did my human math

and in the end what I’ve missed were the countless blessings of self-worth

where the universe and my soul co-conspired to bring me heaven on earth

in those moments in the past I lost out on what could be

but those moments were never completely lost because it came back to the present me

in memory and nostalgia I recount potential failure

but today I choose to walk the path and do my soul a favor.

I’ll carry on whether the grass be green or brown

and as I choose to stay true to me I’m open to all the possibilities

and no matter the journey ahead
no matter the path I choose

I will give honor to my wins and the failures that left their lesson and bruise.
