Divergent

Divergent

We came to a fork in the road

And our paths diverged

I went one way 

While you went the other

I wanted you to come with me

I offered you my hand

So that we could stay together

On our journey

But you refused to take it

You stood staring at the signs

And couldn’t choose a direction

So you picked the easy way 

The road you knew

The one that led no where

Ending up right back where you started

Alone

While I chose the other

The one that was perilous

And unknown

That is the one I asked you to travel

With me

What you didn’t realize

Was that I had already traversed on ahead

And cleared the path of any obstacles

The journey would have been easy together

If you had just taken the first step

In my direction
