Analysis of Where Would I Be



Where would I be, if my future I could see
Where would I be, if I were not to be
Where would I be, if I could see clear
Where would I be, if I had no fear
Where would I be, if you were around
Where would I be, if you stood your ground

Would I have, chosen a different road
Would I still, be carrying this heavy load
Would I have, had seen so much
Would I have, lived such luck
Would life had brought me, much fame
Would she have dropped me, to this very shame

Would my love, have loved me
Would they have cherished me
Would they have, let me down no more
Would they have, pointed me the same door
Would they have, shown me how to trust
Would they have, loved me with less distrust

Do you know, how it would be
Do you think, you can make me see
Do you know, what lot it takes
Do you think, one can know it all
Do you know, how easy it breaks
Do you think, I made a wrong call

Where would I be, if my future I could see
Where would I be, if I were not to be

Mahesh Wadhwani

I always apologize for the length of my text as that’s the best way for me to communicate rather than verbally!! Not a man of many words but still manage to doodle when in mood to write, which is rare!! I am not even sure if what I scribble is poetry or even what form or just words that rhyme!! To me writing is an art, a sign of creativity and a means of expression. I don't really think that anyone can just write without any feelings, without having felt, without having lived, experienced or cherished. Whatever one writes, there is some amount of a persons own feelings and presence or of those around them, indicated in the works. So I am thankful to all the people in my life and those yet to come for having given me life, love, happiness and even pain. At-least I have had the opportunity to feel it , live it and express it, whatever it maybe. Cheers! more…
