A Wrong Choice

We don't see the results of the path we're taking until we reach the end of the road
It's both regret and heartache
Joy and hurt
We can't know what the future will be when we reach the end of the road
So we must be careful
Follow the map and our guide
Yet sometimes we choose the wrong path and it's a shame we can't turn around
There's no dead ends, but there are rough patches
And though our guide calls out
"Don't get lost!"
We do
But our guide is there
To take us back I hope
There is scolding
But comfort, I hope
A good end to it all
I hope
Because a wrong choice for the right reasons is still wrong
And we can't unmake them now
So we look forward
Hoping and believing
That the end of the path is a little bit brighter
Than this
