A road to no-where

You were walking along a path
and you wanted it to be green.
You wished it were peopled
with your friends and your dreams,
and brought along with it name and fame,
and success to bind them all.

Years pass…you travel down that lane.
Long before you have realized this road leads to nowhere
(not, at least, the place from your dreams).
You wish things were different;
You wish you never had chanced upon this road.
But truth is it was destined for you
And you were made to choose.

You will never be happy as you go down that path
You are so tired you dare not dream of fresh light.
All you want now is the road to lead you somewhere,
a place where you can get some rest and peace.
And forget all about this rat-race to succeed.
