The Sidewalk

“The Sidewalk”

If life was a road it would have many twists and turns many connections many versions of the same thing many intersections with other people’s lives speedbumps that are people’s remarks and sidewalks this is for the pedestrians. for the lonely souls that watch life go on in the fast lane and never join in on the excitement for fear of crashing for the fear of not making the right turn for the fear of never making the right turn for the fear they already made the wrong turn but one has to ask themselves if making the wrong turn is as bad as everyone makes it out to be the worst thing a wrong turn can do is make the journey longer and a longer journey makes for more experiences more experiences make for more understanding and understanding is what shapes the most brilliant minds so dear pedestrian if walking on the sidewalk to get to your destination is what you need then do that by all means the longest journeys make the best stories the sidewalk may seem sad to you but to me it’s bittersweet bitter for the pain and sweet for the knowledge so dear pedestrian those fast cars will never learn the footsteps your own two feet have danced you make the sidewalk look like a boardwalk the sidewalk look like an aftershock hold the badge of honor every-time someone asks you how you came to the party and you answer with the sidewalk.
