On Roads Not Taken

On roads not taken,

I had undone many wishes,

Overseen glimpses of a greater maybe,

Well maybes are considered signs of negativity ;

I had undone the promises,

With the premise and conditions mentioned;

I left unspoken words,

Cramped inside my childlike persistence ,

Throbbing my broken heart ,

Scratching the stitches , undone again ;

Ripped of bandages to feel again ,

Untamed Pain or hibernating numbness or dandelion happiness,

Stripped my pride and kept it aside,

Because it was the road i presumed that shouldn't be taken;

Grandeur of silence and sighs of endurance,

A magnificent test to patience,

The multiple choice to tragedies ,

The little fate I had with miracles and perhaps ,

And that too were undone because probably

it wasn't the road that should've been taken ;

In the law of jungle ,

The easiest prey is the one who prays ,

Completely dependent on fate,

I might have betrayed the ultimate rule of hardwork and race ;

Begrudged by pride and timid experiences ,

Of a mellow 20 years of life that pushed me closer to death ,

Disappointed by the rockiness , missing the concrete stage,

The softness of grasses and not the wounds of pitfalls,

I had a road not taken;

Forsaken and forgiven too many ,

Lost in delusions of peace and prosperity ,

Forgetting completely that peace was a liability ,

Brought to the table by everyone who grabs a seat ;

Besieged by doubts and caressed in comfort swings,

I was high on confidence but bashfully tender and young within,

Drunk on kindness , I misinterpreted it as reciprocity,

Weighing feelings on a chart of give and take,

I had a road probably that I must not take,

Before nights , in dim twilights , in sunlit mornings ,

Awaken dreams and tired nights , lazy afternoons ,

Whenever there was a little time ,

Wondering whether I made the right choice ,

On a scale in hearts ,

The road not taken is the most beautiful regret ,

With the high and mighty hopes ,

I had some roads that were untaken .
