Follow the path.
Stay in your lane.
Don’t detour.
Ignore the scenic route.
Maintain your speed.
Veer neither left nor right.
Keep your eye on the prize.
End in sight.
Future decided.
Fastest way is through.
Only one way out.
No U-turns allowed.
Make us proud.
Bobbie Isabel is a lover of words. She spent her childhood escaping in books and finding solace in the public library. Her career in education circled around language in all its forms (spoken, aural, written, etc.), and she takes all of those experiences into account in her writing. As an adult, she finds healing in poetry, exploring themes such as vulnerability and authenticity in her poems. When she’s not writing, you can find her in the audience reveling in the language-rich environment of musical theater. View more posts
