Poem: Am I on the right path?

Have I lost my way?

Or is this the path I was supposed to take?

..

Was I going against the destiny till now?

Or is it now that I am challenging it?

..

I’m in constant argument with my mind

Trying to decipher the maze quilled by my thoughts

..

I have become my own critic,

My actions don’t appease me anymore

..

I’m sailing alone in forlorn sea

Trailing the path led by waters

..

It doesn’t matter if I reach the shore or not,

I feel trapped in water and on earth alike

..

Future seems obscure, past- a mystery

I can’t feel the ground under my feet

..

My troubles change their dynamics everyday,

My desires manifold, I keep shoving them aside

..

I’m trying to breathe;

I’m trying to infuse life in my being

..

I’m taking it day by day,

I cannot expect more from life or myself

..

I pray for peace, I pray for balance

I pray for the ability to live in the moment!
