crossroad

When I look at you
I see myself happy and content forever
When I look at them
I see myself loved and pampered then
When I look in the mirror now
I see myself confused and disappointed
wondering how I reached here
wondering where to go...
knowing one path will give me your love and their hatred
where probably I'll lose myself forever
The other will let me remain me
I'll have everything and everybody like today
but without your love I'll suffocate
living for others... living just a life
I know what to do
and where it'll take me
I have known for a long time now
but somehow today when the choice is before me
I'm scared and alone
Perhaps this is a crossroad
and I'll be fine whichever way I go
but I'll always live in one thinking where the other would have led me
I'll still be alone in a different world

athi, i am quite disappointed with the emotional irony projected over here! you describe yourself as an unpredictable person and yet your words here are most predictable! i know for sure that whatever comments one write on a post like this would be considered as nasty, and yes, i dont intend to be consoling or supportive on my words - simply because we dont share an emotional bonding! my anonymity is surely my advantage over here when i raise my words of "wisdom"! your last few posts have followed a pattern - a sense of break-up, whether in real or fantasy. the crossroad mentioned is quite a common junction where most of the yougsters hav burned a joint atleast once in their life! ask me and i would say to choose the road which gives you the comfort of your family- current not future. but yes, my words have limited sense 'cos i have zero idea about the emotional bonding you have with ur family and this one guy - vice versa included.

if you read books, do consider reading SPOUSE by Shobhaa de. and for god's sake, if you take a decision, dont look back - it makes no sense! you dont wana mess up with ur life, do u?

my wishes with you. take care.
