We Choose Our Own Path

Questions are all around me 
Some ask why bad things always happen
Others ask how the universe was created
Questions about the future
Questions about the past
Nobody knows all the answers

Some spend their whole lives looking for the answers
I can see it on the faces of people around me
Some people are always stuck in the past
It hurts when you see that happen
Knowing they will not experience the future
There are always new questions being created

When that hard question is created
I find it hard to answer
I don’t want it to affect the future
Lose the people who have faith around me
One of my deepest fears will happen
A fear ingrained from my past 

When I think about that past
Those friendships that were created
Not knowing what would happen
How I wouldn’t get any answers
From the friends who decided they were done with me
How it would shape my future

Days and years go by and now it's the future
The future of the pains from the past 
I try to ignore the anxiety always around me
Letting my self image change and be recreated
Finally not needing those answers
Living in the present, knowing that sometimes things happen

I have learned to let those questions happen
Allowing them to help me shape my own future
Knowing that I don’t always need all the answers
Now I can say that it’s okay to move past 
Life is one of the most fragile things created
Just take this lesson from me

Don’t constantly live in the past
It’s okay to not know what you want in life and it takes time for those ideas to be created
You get to decide who you are and what it means to be "me"
