Choose

NafisaSB

What would you like to be:

A pen

To write your story

Before the ink dries

And / Or

A pencil

That can rewrite

The story of your life

Choose well :

For you may not get another chance

So while you can walk, why not also dance ?

We sometimes stay away

From family to pursue dreams

While some sacrifice dreams

To stay with their own

And then feel sorry

For chances they have blown..

So make a decision

That won’t wound you like a knife

And you need not repent

But stay contented with your life

    I like the idea of choice for life is always a choice that often we blame on others or circumstances. A very nice write about taking responsibility for what we do. Nicely written

    • NafisaSB

      sometimes we are the victim of circumstances, and sometimes we sacrifice our dreams so that someone else can fulfil theirs..
      i feel we should look after ourselves too, and try to realize our dreams

      • sorenbarrett

        So true but for some their dream is to be the wind beneath another's wings.

      • Jerry Reynolds

        Good write, Nafisa. Enjoyed the read.

        • NafisaSB

          thanks - glad it resonated with you
          have a good day

          The crucial, fundamental choice: stay with family or go.
          Let's hope both societal norms and economic conditions make that choice a real one...
          Question well posed.

          • NafisaSB

            sorry for the late response -
            yes it's a crucial choice, and we often tend to make the mistake of putting others before self all the time; and that may lead to resentment and frustration
            so choice is in our hands - whom and what to put first

            • Doggerel Dave

              That, in various forms is everywhere.

                what an outcome that would be .. its always best to have a few options open and to choose carefully after an appropriate period of consideration and reflection .. enjoyed muchly safina .. neville

                • NafisaSB

                  Thanks for the response 💐🙏🏼
                  We always tend to play the martyr and sacrifice for the sake of the family who will keep demanding more and more. So this is a call to look after self so that you have more to give others ✌️👍

                • Bella Shepard

                  Choice leads us in so many different directions, it's the story of our lives. You say this so beautifully in thought provoking verse of contemplation. Expuisite!
