Stuck at a crossroads
No signs
No civilization
Nothing
Only the whisper of trees
Lost at the fork
Staring at each choice
Nothing but death is certain
No clue
Muscles stiffen
Blood boils
Screams of frustration fill the air
Which way is it!?
There's no way to know for sure
Heart breaks
Pressure mounts
Suddenly a tiny tug
Lead slowly in one direction
An angel guide
With sad dark eyes
Pleading to go this way
This is the path
Resistance is futile
Just go

Well, that was cheerful. Looks like the season of joy and goodwill is over!
Old wisdom
“Life wasn’t meant to be easy. It was meant to be life.”
For people in the trans community, it often feels like there are no good choices. But that feeling isn’t unique to our community. It’s part of being human, and we do the best we can. All of us.
And every day, we face the biggest choice. “Life and death, blessing and cursing.” Some days choosing life is easy. Other days it’s not. When it gets too hard, please, please, please, don’t face that darkness alone. You are unique, your life is precious, and the world we share needs you.
— Emma

Thank you, your sentiments are beautiful and ring true. I will say though that some people don't have a choice, they have to face the darkness alone because they are alone. Life is an experience with many paths to choose from and it's not always an easy decision. You're definitely right though as humans we all do the best we can.
We're born alone, we die alone, but few want to live alone.
Deep, but...
There's always hope down every path...
