Walk Away?

What if I bit off
more than I can chew
Can I back out
say I quit
shrug my shoulders
shake my head
and start on a new path

What if life seemed
more simple than it has ever really been
Can I call time out
yell Freeze and
run for cover
can I spot Life these first 34 years
and try to recover with the rest

But that's just the problem
even if this is the wrong path
there is no guarantee of a future
all I have is a mark
a path
a record
of memories and past transactions
that is what ultimately defines who I am
and what I have done
so, if I don't develop that
take time to create or grow
the past nothing into something
then how can I possibly
walk away
