Sceptical of Life
With an uncertain decision lingering in my mind
In the midst of life's swirling maze
Compelled to take a decision I find
Myself trying to escape the night's gaze.
My mind like a compass, guiding the heart's gentle voice
The heart whispers softly, pointing its course with pain
Embracing it without any choice
As I navigate my sail of life like a captain .
Crippled by the fears of choosing the wrong
Whether we leave the past or let it linger behind
The choice has frightened me for long
For recalling the Yesterdays will make the Tomorrows hard to find
Imperfections are meant to be embraced
As nothing is promised in life except death
Even if the roads to the destination are left untraced
I will reach the end with my courage and faith.
Maybe I can find the path that lies ahead
By taking a step behind.
The canvas of our lives, waiting to be spread.
Painting it with hopes and ambitions that burdened on my mind
The path adorned with flowers strewn
Inviting me with a chorus of whispers, tempting and sweet
Playing the strings of my life a little out of tune
For now I know that temptations make the destinations hard to meet.
From traveling the winding road of uncertainty
Sceptical of choices to make,
To finally showing courage in the face of adversity
I found that the choices were the best I could take.
