A Poem: A Road Worth Taking

A Road Worth Taking

A slow, silent beat sounds
As each drip, falls through the cracks
I’m alone, stuck forever
Chances of escape are slim to none
I could end up somewhere worse
I will take the road worth taking
In hopes of freedom
In hopes of happiness
But the dark is falling fast
