crossroads

It is at the crossroads in lives that you begin to wonder about the paths that you have taken and the roads that were abandoned. It is at this moment, when I was trotting confidently along, that I suddenly stopped short and looked up, only to realise that the front looks scary actually. That I haven't seen it coming all along. That there aren't flowers blooming ahead. At least, not within my sight.

And the worst part is that when you turn frantically around trying to find the "Help" sign, only AGAIN to realise that there isn't one right now. You feel LONELY.And when the night comes, when the darkness swallows you deep within, you realise the only thing you can do is to wrap yourself with the bare arms and stare up into the sparkly sky, hoping for the best.

And when dawn breaks, there you are, crouching next to a tree, smilling into the new beginning, ready to brave the new day again.
