Maps

Maps were supposed to show us the way,
we'd spent so much time planning,
studying the terrain....
trying to avoid narrow streets and alleys,
ours was to be a short trip to emerald city
to live the life of our dreams...
our efforts failed us,
and we got lost along the way,
creating our own twists and turns,
wandering without direction...
next time I'll just go wherever  the road takes me,
and spare myself the grief of dreams that don't come true...
