Dead-End Clues

If I could put my missteps behind me, To erase the many obstacles... I found to eliminate as I chased my dreams, I guess there would be less critics... Offering their unsolicited advice, As to which road I should have taken... That would have afforded them more time, To discourage my journey. And less confused by it they would be. But I have never made announcements, As to which of my interests... My mind would decide to prioritize. Since a few are more obvious than others I protect. And then one or two are needing adventure. Yet there are those I purposely neglect, If I suspect them needing rest... From getting too much adverse publicity. 'Where is he going now with this? ' ~I don't know. But he seems to have a knack, To leave us teased with dead-end clues.~
