The road to freedom is a long road <br />With many obstacles along the way. <br />There will be different routes, and lots of turns <br />So just take it day by day. <br /> <br />Sometimes you may come upon dead ends <br />Don't give up, just change directions. <br />Read the signs and ask for help <br />And only then will you make your connection. <br /> <br />Once your way of life is determined <br />Your future can be sought. <br />Is your future the road to freedom? <br />For some it might be. For others it may not. <br /> <br />As you end your twelve years of schooling <br />You may think that this is freedom <br />But little did you know that beyond those double doors <br />You will enter the challenge of men and women. <br /> <br />It's time to decide how you want to <br />Spend the rest of your life <br />Should you go to college and get your degree <br />Before you commit your selfs to being husbands and wives? <br /> <br />You have the choice of many roads to take <br />There's the road that leads to a career. <br />And although you thought your school days were over <br />To have a career means going back for a few more years. <br /> <br />Another road that you may take is the road <br />to relationships. <br />And when I ask people what their advice would be, <br />They say take it slow, and keep your wits. <br /> <br />The decisions you make will be yours alone <br />You have to live with whatever you become <br />You can be responsible, it's not that hard <br />To be mature and still have fun. <br /> <br /> Dianna Nally<br /><br />Dianna Nally<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-road-to-freedom/
