The Rail Way

Life is basically a railway.
You set off along the track,
Stopping at the stations you choose.
School,
college,
romance,
heartache,
marriage,
children.
Everything goes along as expected.
Following the tracks to their natural conclusion.

But then someone makes you change track.
An event which makes you change direction.
It isn't what you expected.
It isn't where you wanted to go.

You now have an opportunity.
Lay down the track,
Set your own direction,
Follow your own star.
At some point, someone set out the rails.
Set them out for yourself.
This is the rail way.
