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.
