NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
This is not the yellow brick road
that will lead you to fantasies.
This is the road of reality
that is determined by your choices.
Its course is charted by you.
Take care of the twists and turns.
It’s a ride of a lifetime.
If only sadness can be a channel,
one that you can turn on and off at will.
I would clear all sadness from my life
with channels of happiness to fill.
Life or a picture?
Choices.
Decisions.
A copy or reality.
Colors or a dull sketch.
Nothing can beat mother nature.
Rise and Shine by Sabir Ayaz
Should I keep flying,
Or join my friends?
So many choices.
All are good.
The sun is setting,
warming my feathers.
My friends are swimming
with the current.
They look happy.
Content.
A beautiful day.
To be alive.
To be a bird.
Hard choices.
Which one to choose?
Both lead to darkness
and despair.
Some decisions don’t
have happy endings.
But we are forced to choose.
Which one?
What to do?
Such is life.
Close your eyes and pick one.
Happy trails.
Light vs. Dark
Isn’t this what life is all about?
How we choose to live?
In the sun or the darkness.
Choosing optimism or pessimism.
Too often, I choose darkness.
Torn between two lives;
What you want
And what others want of you.
A tough balancing act.
Full of uncertainty.
Walk the fine line.
Balance carefully.
And balance wisely.
Should we go up?
Climb the stairs of our ambitions.
Should we walk down?
Tired of expectations.
Or we can wait downstairs.
Wait for the best opportunities
To come to us.
And there’s the door.
Give up on it all.
NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
This is not the famous Yellow Brick Road
that will lead you to fantasies.
This is the road of reality
that will lead you to your future.
This road is determined by your life choices.
It is created by you and for you.
Do you still want to travel this road?
Be careful of its twists and turns.
It’s a ride of a lifetime.
Torn between two lives.
Between what you want
And what others want of you.
A tough balancing act.
Full of uncertainty.
How do you walk the fine line?
Can you please everyone?
No.
You can’t.
You must please yourself first.
Balance carefully.
And balance wisely.
