Magic Compass

One way that they all go but I don't like to follow in the flock. One way includes a fight but that's ok if I'm right. I'll just talk. One way ticks a few taboos. One way takes in many views. I need a magic compass. One way looks faster but a high risk of disaster. Should I go? One way looks safer but a high price tag to pay for and it's slow. One way into the unknown. One way closed that chance has blown. I need some clear navigation to my unknown destination where I stop. A sense of direction. I'm not looking for perfection or the top. I'll get somewhere somehow. Make a choice now. Place my bet and then don't swap. Bridges are all burning so I got to keep on running till I drop.
