Despite Taking The Road Less Traveled

[thatguyfromacrossthestreet]

This is essentially the first draft for a small scholarship. Give me any feedback you seem fit. ><

You strive to be the very first
Yet always end up last
Glean behind the reapers
And first learn from the past

We take this past for granted
We don't learn from its mistakes
We strive to be the only one
Yet give up because we find it takes
Much more than first imagined.

Despite following the road less traveled
It quickly came to be
That following is still following
It's all the same to me.
