A Man of No Regrets

I have taken that jump 
trust me it isn't that bad 
in fact I was more worried before 
when there were multiple options I had 
Now its easy that there are no options anymore 
now it easy to focus on the chores 
To not have to overthink back and forth 
now I can be on fire and peace at the same ing time 
now I can focus on myself rather than the things I wanted to be mine 
now that my mindset towards life seems to have changed 
everything I knew before feels very strange 
my fear was my weakness as if I had given myself that bench 
on which I felt helpless 
cursing that "life is taking a revenge "
but when I look back 
I had myself dug that trench 
when I think while I am falling through this empty air now 
why ain't my friends seem scared.. how?
how can someone be in cage and not get it? 
just so that most of their lives they could cry and regret it 
how can someone wake up at 6.. be excited to work there ass off.. so that someone else could grow their wealth... and not regret it?
how can someone not realise what they really love and work hard to spread it? 
is living the lie you are living that easy? 
it certainly wasn't for me 
as it made me feel dizzy?
and what are you afraid of ?
we already have nothing 
but by following your dreams there is at least a teeny-tiny chance of having something !!
seeing you cling to that comfort zone 
one thing I can surely bet 
life will always be heavy 
you will always have a burdened chest 
even on your deathbed you won't die as 
"A man of no regret !"

Martin Braun Date: 3/14/2020 9:18:00 AM Thank you Ishwar Zore... I hear you... and am glad you responded. At 53, programming since 7th grade... I needed to take a long-deserved break. So, I get it, "STABLE." It's hard to keep a good man down. All the best, and keep writing. Thank you. Login to Reply Ishwar Zore Date: 3/14/2020 9:25:00 AM All the best for your journey aswell sir. You've just lived half your life. There is a lot to come. All the best. Thank you.

Martin Braun Date: 3/14/2020 7:49:00 AM Thank you, for putting your work out there for us to read. From your poem, I understood a change and a conflict. What I don't understand is the source to which change was made. If you could explain that in your poem, I could identify with it better. Be that as it may, I did enjoy it. Thank you. Login to Reply Ishwar Zore Date: 3/14/2020 7:55:00 AM I studied engineering. Garduated. Worked for like 6 months and realized that its not something that i wanna do. Ishwar Zore Date: 3/14/2020 7:55:00 AM So saved up some money and now i am persuing a Diploma In Personal Training. As i am a distance runner since past 5-6 years. That is where i feel i belong. So quitting my "STABLE" Job was a big thing for me. Deciding to do so was the most difficult part. Now that i am on the other side, already jumped and now studying for what i love, i am so much in love with it. Every struggle feels sweeter now. I hope i could explain. Thank you Martin for your kind words. I will appreciate and keep in mind your suggestions. Please check out my older poetries as well.
