Malabika Ray Choudhury Poet Sonnet

Reality Versus Passion

a conversation lingered in my mind ...
                            between Reality Versus Passion! 
                           singing my greatest devotion I find
                          choosing technology the persuasion ! 

                             in technology jobs are abundant, 
                           won't be painful to get a job I crave! 
                        love music from the bottom of my heart..
                              difficult to succeed even if I’m brave!

                            I have no agent, I have no money! 
                          recording companies hard to impress! 
                    contests are tough, nerve-wracking and funny
                      may get awful stage-fright - hardly success!

                             Reality Versus Passion - hard choice
                         efforts are rewarded -tells a wise voice!

Molly Moore January 7, 2022 at 4:30 PM Very well expressed dilemma, Mala. I enjoyed reading this and hope you are able to pursue your passion. All the best, Molly Malabika Ray Choudhury January 7, 2022 at 4:43 PM Thanks, Molly. Delighted you read my poem. It happened many years ago, I stopped training for music. Now I have started again..although it's a bit late. Best wishes ~ Mala

Paul Callus January 7, 2022 at 12:03 PM I suggest you stay faithful to your passion, Mala! Without it no results will come your way. After all, who wants to buy success at all costs!! ~ Warm regards, my friend. // paul Malabika Ray Choudhury January 7, 2022 at 4:41 PM Thank you, Paul. Actually this happened many years ago..when I gave up singing..not totally, just the training. That was my own realistic decision at that time. Anyway, I have started following my passions again. Really appreciate your thoughtful comment.
