An Incident That Changed Me!

AN INCIDENT THAT CHANGED ME

Passing through the woods

Sometime around dusk

Keeping each foot forward

Gently on the crust

As it grows darker

The faster my heart beats

But I move without an utter

Not knowing where it leads

The dark, scary forest

Sees me with creepy eyes

The growls of wolves scares me

As I long, for the sun to rise

Crumbling the grass, in the path I proceed

As I look back, the way seems to recede

Incessantly moving ahead

Every fear of mine I bork,

Realizing a sense of change

I find myself at a fork

As the sun arises

I see the yellow wood

I fall into the thought

Which road is bad or good

The next moment I feel

That anyone will be fine

Heretofore while coming along

I’d never thought of this time

There is something wrong

My inner self says

And deep inside my thoughts

I stand in a maze

Where will this lead? Where will I go?

I don’t know. Which one to follow.

Then I do decide

To go with the first

But wait a second

What if it’s the worst?

But this is the same

For the second one too

There bewildered I stand

What do I do?

The dark would have been better

At this point of time

Neither I would have seen this fork

Nor stuck in this line

This is like a battle

That will never ever end

So, I go the second way

There’s no point to defend.

Then I realized

This was somewhat usual

It was a daily experience

Of the life of an individual

Crossing a situation

When you’re to select

Isn’t it a fork?

Where all seem correct!

However in the end

You have to choose one

Not knowing where each of them

Will go when they’re done.

When you can’t decide

Even with endless thinking

You blame the surrounding

For you to be floundering

You hope for a different place

Where this could be done with ease

Refusing to the challenge

Your difficulty you cease

But this ease is temporary

You can’t escape from life

Because life itself is a challenge

And you’ll later strife

Facing difficulties

Is part and parcel of living

One who denies, is a coward

One who faces, is daring

This gave me a lesson

To stand up with courage

Only you can mend your life

Your problems you should manage

No one will come to help you

At the mountain you will climb

You have to be your savior

That too, before it’s time

This is truly very hard

But it’s one of life’s keys

For then, the rest of your life

Will surely pass with ease

In front of every trouble

Your will is the tower

No one is you

And that is your power!
