CROSSROADS
CROSSROADS
I am lost amidst options
Confused in the midst of choices
Perplexed with variety of alternatives
Baffled with life's uncertainties
And thus I'm struggling to stay attentive
A voice keeps ringing in my head
At a point I thought I would bend
With scars waiting for me to tend
I Desperately want this to end
No I'm not crazy
Just stuck in a situation that is hazy
And it's making me lazy
But I know for sure that I am dazy
Things will fall in place
I know just right
Even without comfort to lay
For a just cause, I would fight
And then I'll set the pace
For others to trace
Even while in the state of been hollow
I trust they'll follow
Soon, there'll be a balance of Contrast
A positive choice that'll know no retract
With my head shunning the negativities
And embracing the positivities
With no more crossroads, but a definite way to peace.
