PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Decisions anchored to the crossroads

I'm not sure what I will do.

These choices before me are vitriform

but opaque. I can't see water as water

but as an unknown liquid behind

the glass containter.

Hmmm...honestly, I always thought

change is change for the better or worse

and I'm used to it.

But now a HEAVE-HO! HEAVE-HO! HEAVE-HO!

in my mind, a bit suffering, pulled

this way and that, stretched, this is the

first time I'm scared for a change I have

no control over. Circumstances in my life

leading to this point here I stand, eyes

blindfolded, forced to hurry up

and say the last few words before

I may take the first step. Decide!



You know, there's a saying in the Tao te Ching

that goes, "A journey of a thoasand miles

starts with a single step."

I've gone down my path,

experienced things 22 years so far of life

with seasoned vicissitudes here and there

but I've overcome them. I made mistakes,

but hey, who doesn't?, even the strongest

of all of us can still fall off the wagon,

No one can escape from them.

I've learned from my mistakes too.

I've become a better person.

Yet now my current journey's interrupted

with a turning point I'm not comfortable with

besides questioning myself and values.

Is this what people would call a mid-life crisis?

LOL I'm 22, perhaps still young to know what it is

exactly.



Here I go. I'll do my best.

Another perseverance moment.

I'll weigh the choices,

I'll say the choice,

and step, step, step,

watch me walk down yet another path

in this life. How it'll go I'm unsure

but this is what I can express

with the power I have for the time being.
