Crossroads


Life is a journey, I believe
Yet, why is it that when you reach crossroads
You feel mixed emotions
Happy, sad
certain, yet confused
free, but chained out of guilt
focused with only one vision – a goal to achieve
a change of route, a detour, with a definite route to take
amidst crossroads
Yet, as you tread on to the very path you’ve chosen
You feel like turning around
Going back to the old routine
Doing the same things over and over again
For a genuine reason of love
Love for the people you are accustomed to be with
Love for those whom you want to see succeed
Love for them whom you still wish to inspire to carry on
Love for them whom you’d think need more assistance to get through their academic feats
Thus, even if you’re sure of what path to traverse
You still end up baffled
Asking yourself
“Is this the right thing to do?”
“Am I not causing any obstacles in the course of others’ journey?”
“Am I still the same person with a heart and soul?”
