Getting Started

Dreaming with open eyes
I think about myself
Who am I ? 
Where do I belong? 
Is that a question everyone asks
Or is it just me who has this doubt...

Lots of queries fly through my mind
Why this and why not that? 
What if I do this forever long? 
Difficult it is to make a choice
Life seems to be so complicated
I wish I had an angel for all decisions

At times there seems no way out
Only continuous unending work
That goes on day in and day out
Nothing soothes the mind
Some pressure always has its design
What does it lead to somebody lemme know....

All of it is so messed up
What destiny holds is unknown
But still I'm struggling
Struggling to achieve my dreams
Inpite of all the pains
Working for a passion is bliss

I think this is what is getting started
I am GETTING STARTED. 
Hope that you too get started soon!!

Fly...fly...fly...
Fly like a free bird...
High...high...high...
High up in the sky...

Thomas Carney Date: 2/21/2015 9:10:00 AM The "Blank Verse" drew me here at first. I don't see this as Blank Verse but realize too it is sometimes difficult to categorize our poems. This was pretty cool. There (imho) were two parts to this poem: 1. The reality of life 2. Overcoming [or trying] to press on to one's dreams. May be crazy, but I thought this > the days of traditional families. Less pressure on women as they were more a homemaker. Smaller dwellings, less cost, so two did not have to work. cont...

Thanks again for your kind words and for sharing your views. :-) Regards, Malvika"
