I stood in the midst of a rose garden, Greeting the fresh trickle of the dew The bright sunlight swept its rays to my eyes As a start to a day brand new. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNYh5WCaDbwYLan38jWWvxN5h7UzvWk2Cxf3FPCJo4TiM/image.png) *Image from [Solidaria Garden](http://mxtrianz.me/a-rose-garden/a-rose-garden-2-landscaping-a-rose-garden/)* Looking at my feet, I felt the cold stony pathway That led to various directions from the circle of the garden I must choose carefully which path should be taken Or I'll get lost in the scent of the roses which is ardent. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXpKyuvn6dZcmzmMarCrGjLzPN745yo316oxXEyoZ6Rs3/image.png) *Image from [Dreamstime](https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photography-stony-pathway-pattern-public-park-image40744322)* Confident, I turned; determined, I chose, To long pathways I never have gone. But to my dismay, some pathways, if I may say, Led to a dead end of more than one. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeJwv11dkeCHbeB7N1dbTWBP7LALgdro3sWFbDbavUuLZ/image.png) *Image from [DiscSpace](http://the.discspace.org/visual/index.php?ig=0060)* I desperately wish to flee from this tangled maze Or just break the walls to make my own path And create a new way even it defies the norms, Let me go; I'll handle all others' wrath. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTpDwvqhxDpVpAmQUCHcATb7HKUBiCoHeKjXzmXpjgu5z/image.png) *Image from [Dreamstop](http://dreamstop.com/maze-dream-symbol/)* 'Twas soon I found the untangled way out-- Some from the old path and some of my own, Most came from twisted circles and frustrating decisions That I could have ignored if I had better known. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmashc8ARW2QaTc2b8VQNaSbWfPa81zPBLBgE7iimoZ3rP/image.png) *Image from [Tangle Images](https://www.shutterstock.com/search/tangle)* This tangled garden pretty much seems like this life With strange twisted knots, hollow hopes, and dead ends, But take courage and your will, find a new way if you must To solve and conquer whatever this life sends. *To you who might have been struggling because of all these life tangles, hold on.* **FIGHT ON, OH!**
