Is left right?

Heavy teardrops, fall to my feet

I can’t seem to recall, where I am, at what street

Should I go left or should I go right,

because what if I lose,

this inner fight

What if I simply go wrong?

I will always ask: „do I belong?“

The path ahead, is filled with such dread

My heart weighs me down, so deep, I almost drown

I hope someone sees me, gasping for air

I’m suffocating in this world, that I cannot bear

Silent screams, echo through the infinite sea

And I ask myself, if I had gone right, where would I be?

Would I be myself, or a different me?

Would I actually and truly be happy?

Or would I still have followed the call of the sea?

In this void, no answer rings back

So I’ll never know about the right track

But I hope one day, I will arise

Having learnt something new, a little more wise

What do you think, would you reappear? Or simply sink and shed a tear?


The author's comments:

We always question ourselves, never sure if we made the right choice and thinking: what if I had chosen differently? Maybe we should ask ourselves if the other path would have truly been better. You wouldn’t be who you are right now if you hadn’t. These realisations show your strength and knowledge, appreciate them.
