It's My Life

Priya Washikar posted under PenMuse-35 Poetry on 2021-11-16



On the crossroads of Life I stand Pondering which path I should take And whatever choice I shall make Won't you be there to hold my hand? Dad, you've carved a niche for yourself in your career I'm proud to be known as your son I know that you care for me, you truly do Oh! But did it never cross your mind That my happiness lies in testing untrodden waters That I might be harboring a different dream? I'm treading this road for your sake I'm scared to stride on foreign land Though I'm raring to take a stand You feel 'our' honor is at stake? Mom, my only wish is to make you happy Deep in my heart I know I tried so much In the eighteen years of my existence Didn't you both even once notice the anguish and the pain in my eyes? But today I know it's time to make a choice It's my life and I want to live it my way So I shall follow my dreams come what may!   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
