The Choice

-Debashish Basistha

Never had I thought so,

That I would be standing here,

Before this crossroad

Where every path

Seems equally unknown;

Leaves me feeling

Like a layman among Einsteins-

Can’t I make my own choice?

Or have I got people for this too?

My heart goes dead

When I lean on it for help!

But a choice is to be made,

I know not what;

Ah! It’s a long road ahead

Or a really brief one

My mind goes blank!

Am I ready for the test?

Only time will tell, I guess!
