Soliloquy

I said...

"It bothers me, it smothers me

Thinking of what lies ahead of me"

heard a voice back...

"What's unknown is always puzzling

Why your mind's thoughts guzzling"

"Thoughts are free and they have wings

No control what anxiety brings"

"So are you... free with wings

Cut those unreal strings

For tomorrow brings hope with great possibilities

Happy you are, lucky you are with responsibilities"

"But disappointment and despair I fear

For I've had a fair share of them, dear!"

"Expectations kill you, enjoy the journey

Nothing is permanent in this odyssey

What lies ahead no one knows

But Present is the gift for all of those"

"Thank you..."
