Less Traveled - Johanna Warren
We were in the woods
It was getting dark
You fell asleep on the ground at my side
Suddenly awoke
And with a shudder croaked
Mother won't you let me back inside
Little one if I were in your shoes
I would take the road less traveled
Then again if I were really you
Why would I be seeking counsel from me
Don't seek counsel from me
Triplets pitter patter in pretty patterns
Stippling and spattering my empty mind
If you clear a path it doesn't matter
Where you wind up
Who knows what you'll find
Myriad are the guiding voices
If you take the road less travel
But you're the only one
Who can make those choices
So don't take it from me
Why would you take anything from me
There is a time
And a place in your mind
More perfect than this world will ever be
You lock the door
Don't live there anymore
But check both your pockets
Maybe you still have the key
We built the walls
They were strong over all
But now the barriers all start to fade away
And damn it feels good
Something we understood
A long time ago but forgot
Somewhere on the way
