Maps are Liars

I thought I would find what I was looking for

In plans and maps of my dreams

But it wasn’t there

It wasn’t life

It wasn’t what it seemed

---

I thought I could muscle my future

Into the broad, idyllic light
But fate had other plans for me

It had designed another life

---

Soon I realized the fallacy

Of wishing for paths to be mine

I had to learn to trust myself

And open up my eyes

---

Maps are liars

They create false visions

Of where I thought I’d go
Now I know I’ll see much more

If I relax and join the flow
