Life's CrossroadA Poem by Shalini DineshI traveled all way long,
Joining hands with my family and friends, I traveled in the shadow, Shadow of others, In the road that was straight and single. We had fun, We had fights, Even after nudging others We smiled after a while, Cause the road was straight and single. Each had their goal, They’d clearly set their path, I never knew mine, Neither did I bother to find, I traveled along on the road straight and single. Then came the time, Where crossroads had come, Each had their map, They traveled smoothly in their path, On the road that was earlier straight and single. No one cared, no one asked If I need a hand to hold and walk, The time had come, To make my choice, to choose the path, From the road that’s no more straight and single. I realized, I needed to walk my life, For no more people came along, For life is never always an easy song, Its my life, I decided to walk Away from the road that was straight and single. Then came a clash, Clash between my mind and heart To select the path where I should walk, I paused, thought and decided to proceed The crossroad that was chosen by my heart.
