CROSSROAD

we all have been there

I love puzzles
Only when am not a piece of them
I have to find my path
One that leads me to my future
Life is one big test
With no marking scheme
Guess i cant know if i got it right or wrong
Infinite paths ahead of me
Finite steps is what i have
One life is all i get
How can i make it perfect!
I dont know where am going
But i know i cant stay here
Head held high
Long sure strides
One big facade
I dont know where am going
Am i even going anywhere?
This is not a desperate cry for help
You all tried it before
You failed for the same reason
You dont know the way either
Too proud to admit it
Too blind to see it
Too ignorant to understand this
Am sure you dont know that you dont know
And you wount know as long as you think you know it all
Am a selfish brother
I put me first and everything after
Look at that!
You're judging me
As if you are any better
I need some sign
Im in a cross road
Seven lanes
Green light
But still stuck

Are you lost!!!
The pace is so frantic, really helps with the meaning and urgency. Might be more powerful if yyou personalised it a little. What is the writer trying to decide? How did they get there? Who is help, preventing the decision?

This is absolutely awesome. I love the feel and the message it gives. And it's also really cool that its relatable. Good job!

I really liked this poem! It certainly explains all the different feelings, paths, and destinys of life all around us. It makes one think about themselves and contemplate life... Bravo! ^_^

Note to self; there are no absolute answers. Everybody has to choose their path. The trick is to make the most of what you've chosen, not to try to figure out what to choose. A thought provoking piece my friend... I wish you well in your quest
