Nothing 4d
In the stillness of dawn, I stand,
A single road stretches before me,
No forks, no detours, just the path ahead,
Two souls walk beside me, united in purpose.

Choices may seem like chains,
Yet I chose this journey, embraced the fight,
With every step, I shed the doubt,
For in this singular way, I find my strength.

The shadows whisper of what could have been,
But I silence them with resolve,
This path, though narrow, is mine to tread,
A testament to the courage I hold within.

No turning back, no second guessing,
I walk forward, heart ablaze,
For sometimes, the absence of choice
Is the freedom to forge my own fate.

With each stride, I conquer the unknown,
In the face of fear, I rise,
For I made the choice to embrace this road,
And in that choice, I find my light.
On paths unseen, my heart takes flight,
A journey penned in dawn's soft light.
May these verses, deeply sown,
Reflect the strength within your own.

Bad Stuff: The Tarnish on Gold

Her laugh broke like sunlight through clouds
Yet I called her pride a flaw.
His hands, gentle as dawn, mapped my scars
Yet I named his ambition greed.

Society whispered: wrong background, different god
(As if love needs proper paperwork)
Parents warned: no future there
(As if futures aren't built by stubborn hearts)

I surrendered to practical whispers,
Let distance grow between us like weeds.
Now memory's knife cuts deeper with time -
How easily I labeled love's shine as tarnish,
How foolishly I mistook gold for brass.

Yes, I still love them.
In that parallel life where courage won,
We're dancing, still.
