Can You Tell Me?

When you need a new direction-
Which way will you go?
Where will you seek the answers?
What will you want to know?

Will you let yourself fall back
Into the old routine you loathe?
Did what you've learned mean nothing,
Or will you change the way you go?

When you think about your future,
Does it look just like your past?
Then you need to make some changes,
And you need to make them last.

Nice job with this one, Cari. A great message especially with it being graduation time for a lot of high school and college students...or anyone stuck in a dreary job. Or it can be applied equally as well to a relationship you stay stuck in. I almost read the last part as "and you need to make them FAST!" haha hey, that works too!

A very profound poem, I enjoyed its insight and brought many thoughts to mind.
