Having chosen the path of least resistance.
Having taken the road most travelled.
Having only heard the voice of most insistence.
Having seen all my mysteries unravelled.

I have lived a life of predictability.
I have lacked in talent and ability.
I have rested on what laurels I had.
Always last to follow the latest fad.

Had I chosen differently.
Had I chosen recklessly.
Had I only been able to see.
Safe, isn't how life is meant to be.
