decisions

sometimes you have to stay
where you are valued

and walk away from 
the unknown

even if it looks like
the better place

even if every face smiles
at your entrance

even if there are many stories
to inspire you along the way

the road there could be
hilly

the trouble there could be
unspoken

the friends you see from afar
can be acquaintances inside

the filter falls  
the closer you get
to where you desire

making troubles very clear

steer away from 
what you think
and stay where the feeling's real

at least for to-day

(soon)
