On cross roads

 

No one around

No more tears to shed

All dried up

Definitely not sad

 

Not yet lost

Hold on to myself

None can help

Being on cross roads

 

Some time or the other

In a long journey

Birth to death, the end

Eventually, all come here

 

The moments seem

Moving slow, dragging

Thoughts deep ones

Rolling back-flash

 

One after the other

Thoughts pop-up, magnified

Such simple things

Ended all messed up

 

Did I fail to act!

Didn’t I respond in time!

Was I too eager!

Did I become too emotional!

 

Wish I could roll back!

Have my life re-run

May be then, a thought

Avoid being on cross again

 

If, at this moment

God were to come down

Granting me a wish

Which life I would chose!

 

My dear child

Here it is I offer

A life time to choose

Might avoid crossing again!

 

50 years of more life

What would be your wish!

A re-run life of past!

The alternate, a fresh one

 

Ah! A moment

Again I am on cross

Life a surprise

A package, unknown

 

More cross roads sure to come

No one can ever avoid

Surprise, is more exciting

‘A fresh life’, I yelled loud n clear

Yes....we shall always survive no matter how bad teh circumstances get we shall always make it to the other side of the road and continue on. Strength is shown here....very well done!

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

such raw emotion from your words, nicely done. Great Write.

[Dead Angel]

ah how i wish the same things as you are right now. i can tell these were your true feelings because i could feel your emotions as i read through each word. very well done with this one. good writing always comes from the heart. :)

[TL Boehm]

strong poetic introspective piece. Well written - solid poetry here.

[Siddartha Beth Pierce]

I agree there is an optimism to this even though you have reached several crossroads as we all do. It is difficult at times not to wonder where we would be if we had not taken a different route. Yet, you stand strong in your decision. Thank you.

Don't we all cross roads in our lives eventually? I liked this poem, because it signifies something that most people go through, not on a daily basis, but at least several times in our lives. An excellent poem my friend, I can't wait to read more.

[Touché Armada]

I do like the held up feel through this and then the optimism at the end, it least it seems like optimism in that now you wait for surprises, I agree surprise sounds good.
