Long way to go

I've finally come to a point in my life where I no longer can hide behind the pretext of 'higher education'. The Big Bad Wolf awaits my arrival. All I can do now is hope the past 22 years of my life have taught me well. 

It's time to open that door. 

It's time to write a new chapter. 

It's my time to make a mark.

I wrote this poem with these thoughts in mind.

A Long way to go

Milestones overwhelm, as I drive by.

Perched in the corner of my mind, they

Talk,Weigh, Judge,Nod...

Relentless their pursuit.

This hybrid zooms, oblivious of patience

In the wilderness, a thought aimlessly wanders,

"If only I had fixed them when I had the time."

Paths twist as the wind sings songs of grandeur,

And those headlight fail me

"I should have fixed them when I had the time."

Brakes don't work & pauses waste time,

A firm grip steers, mine.

This Inebriated momentum loathes caution

Moonlit & narrow, the turns bend again

This elastic, unpredictable tar has no Master

Amidst the resonating call of the next milestone,

A chant creeps,

"Eyes on the road"

"Eyes on the road"

"Eyes on the road"

"Eyes on the road"
