What's Next?

A Journey Beyond the Unknown

By Amrita JannatPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

At the turning point of time,

Beyond the receding line,

the eyes stared The past is behind us,

the future is a mystery, What comes next? I will be thrown where?

I have walked through fire and rain,

savored happiness and endured pain,

Toughly fallen, but rose again,

But what comes next? a gain or a loss?

The low whisper of the ticking clock I still don't know the answer to a silent question,

Should I pursue unrealized goals,

Or should I leave my feet on firm ground?

The forces of fate change direction,

A lesson learned, a shattered bridge,

Do I keep holding on or let go? What comes next?

I might not know. Is the road in front of you flat or steep?

Does success smile or creep shadows?

Should I embrace the struggle and stand tall?

Or should I let the night consume my light?

I've witnessed love grow and fade,

watched as hope rose and fell,

watched as high-rise castles crumbled,

But I stand because I heard the call.

What comes next? A vast question,

Will I experience the past again or find peace?

Do I dare to rekindle my fantasies?

Or slam the door and lock my heart?

Dark but bright, the unknown looms,

A hushed muttering in the darkness,

Do the heavens' stars inspire me?

Or do you walk alone and without love?

a fresh start or the same old story?
