Lost in Reverie

Being in the 20s , the future looks scary,

Thoughts muddled up, heedless to the turmoil inside my head,

Running helter skelter to catch up with the routine without a pause,

Too nervous to gauge where the path leads and for what cause,

just go with it, says a part of me, 

resist,says another for all its worth, you get to live only once.

Yet I sit here, panic stricken,

frightened to go out and explore ,

trapped in my own little cocoon, 

fighting relentlessly to break out,

break out from the monotony,

for I know that sky's the limit .

Gifted are those who pursue their passion, I might say

If only I knew what their 20's used to be like. 

Life is not a bed of roses, I have heard,

Monetary success is momentary, I know,

Do what you love, I keep reminding myself,

for that is the key to eternal happiness.

This is a promise to myself,

To ignite the fire, to kindle that passion.

It is never too late!

I know that I can still start today and write a beautiful ending,

As I would never want to fail without trying.
