Kelsi Westfall

Before she began writing and singing songs, Kelsi Westfall was a poet. This poem, Which Way Will You Go, published on the net in 2013, alludes to the many challenges she faced after leaving home when she was still a teenager.

"sometimes the silver lining's thin

but if its there you count it as a win

remember that for some

their lining will never silver become

everything is perspective

when held in their place respective

sometimes you don't even know the good

until the good is gone

you climb a ladder to

get to the top

but if you try to make it without one

you won't make it at all

something better

can't really be so

if theres not something worse

to compare it to

so if you're wondering how

you'll make it out

remember that the light at the end is a fork in the road

which way will you go"

In many ways, the poem is a precursor to the lyrics she writes now. This is her second session in the library. The first was recorded almost exactly a year ago.
