Choices If I Was Given

Choices we make in life






When I chose to study rather pursuing literature,
Proud I felt of my choice treated so respectfully,
Writers were taken crazy and doctors the most busy,

My literature books drowned in tears,
gathered dust to my worst fears,
Creativity breathed its last as I peep into my past,

Choice if I was given my status had been single!
Ah freedom and no worries, no household curries,

Now I dance to the tune of clock,
Distanced from my kind of flock,
Days and nights merge into one,
As to my soft pillow I lately succumb!

Introspection......

It's all about one road taken
and the other one not,
Can you ever say the choice was wrong
when the other you never walked through ?
Having firm belief in my choice,
Say my dreams so far have come true!

Ponder if choices were truly in our hands
and not written on those fortune bands ?
What we truly chose for us
was not trashed to bin thus,
Trust He hears our pure heart and voices
there must be no repentance on choices !

I totally agree with Michael...so many of us are put into the "golden handcuffs" that we lose our identity in life. The path we take is not always our choice, but no one wants to be something they are not. A 7 goes for me too.

Dr Upma this is one of my favorites if not my favorite from you. Profoundly real and deep. Full of life's experiences and truths. It's difficult to follow your passion and make a living at it. Look at all the very famous great artist that were starving. I guess money should not play into this but there is a reality part of choosing paths. You got to do both. I love the conceptual thought process you used here. It speaks volumes. A 7 for sure. Congratulations. Applause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
