I looked back into the past, with hope and fear
Only to see the path that I took is on fire.
As the things that I wished I never done
Laughed at me and made me their fun
I stand here wishing they were untrue
But in life’s dictionary there is no ‘undo’.
I look into the future, nothing is clear
Hoping that, I would not turn back in fear.
May be I would be what I wanted to be
Or end up as just another fish in the sea
I stand here frightened to wish and hope
May be I am not too sure if I can cope.
When all I could look at is ‘now’
I don’t care to question, I don’t ask how.
I follow my heart, I follow my spirit
I hunt each dream of mine and achieve it
Live for your dreams not for any morrow
Live the moment, and you would be your hero!
Last stanza had been updated from:
When all I could look at is ‘now’
I don’t care to question, I don’t ask how.
I follow my heart, I follow my spirit
Do I really care to fear, damn it!
After all, the idea that there is no tomorrow
Brings the best in you and makes you a hero!

Hey, Nice one… You are on your way to be a great poet…
With some more humor/wit you’ll be GB Shaw II.
Good one again….the overall rhyme scheme is good…however I felt the last three lines were written keeping the rhyme scheme ONLY in mind…i might be wrong of course…but the poem is really good…well put thoughts…this is one thing everyone thinks of but not everyone manages to write a poem!
@ darwin, I love you!
@ Kruttika, yeah actually you are right. I got too lazy at the third stanza (I have this condition you know?) By the way, thank you for the comments and it help me producing better poems or a better world (reduced population would help, wouldn’t it?)
@all those who read the poem and did not comment, you missed a bottle of beer, huh!
By the way guys, I know I suck at poetry, the other day I’d sent another poem to my close friend and the reply came:
you think this is a hit
i think it is truck loads of bull shit.
this rhymes too but the good news is that I would not concede, not by jove!
