Dancing with Doubt

Cloie

They asked me of my plans, and I stood there, clueless,

A shock to them, but in my heart, it wasn't newness.

"I'm going with the flow," I finally let out,

While others spoke of dreams, I harbored doubt.

Beside me, people painted their lives with vivid strokes,

Each detail clear, as if they'd never have to revoke.

Lost in my thoughts, I questioned my own way,

Am I just dumb or carefree, where does my mind sway?

Is this normal or abnormal, this uncertainty I feel?

Will things work out, or is it all just an ordeal?

Will I ever know what to do, find my true path?

Or am I destined to wander, facing society's wrath?

Reflecting now, the best answer I could convey,

"My plans are to seek answers, day by day.

To unravel the mysteries, the questions in my heart,

For in the pursuit of knowledge, I'll find my part."

To those who ask, my answer I share,

No roadmap I hold, yet fear is rare.

    I once was told, "Of magic doors there is this, you do not see them even as you are passing through." Don't let others put too much pressure on you Cloie, you'll get it figured out. 😉👍

        to be fair, join the club .. you are not alone ..
        seek and you shall find but don't expect to find it all at the same time ..

        • Cloie

          Here's a depressing thought - lol. Not that I agree with it - 'Don't worry; when one door in life closes, another one slams in your face!' heehee.

          • Cloie

            Lol, hopefully those slamming doors lead to better opportunities in disguise.😄

            I've read a few of your poems dear Cloie and what screams very loudly out to me is that even though you are still so young, you are without doubt full of skill and knowledge to be a successful writer. I truly have no doubt apart from that, you seem to be extremely bright so what ever you choose as your career in life I suspect it would be full of passion. 🌹

            • Cloie

              Aw, thank you! Your words really warmed my heart. It's so sweet of you to say that. Knowing that you've read my poems and see potential in me means a lot. Your encouragement gives me a big boost of confidence! It's comforting to have your support along the way. 🌹

              An existential journey that at one time or another we all take. Nicely written. We need to listen to others and be sensitive but not necessarily believe or accept what other say.

              • Cloie

                Indeed, it's a journey we all embark on at some point, grappling with our existence and seeking meaning. Thanks for the kind words!

                I believe in going along with the flow, not bring pressurized by outside influences. Taking time to find the answers to questions at a pace which suits.Then you can say, I truly did it my way. We are all on our own unique journey. Loved the read Cloie. You right so well.

                • Cloie

                  Wow, I totally vibe with that mindset! It's all about staying true to yourself and not letting outside noise get to you, right? Thanks a bunch for the love and support, it means the world!🌟😊
