Back and Again

Hii, again fellow human beings! Today I’m going to share the second poem I had written for the competition as I said in my last blog. I think it isn’t much creative and had alot of potential if I could do some justice, but as much as I’d love to edit it, I want to keep it raw and simple because let this poem be a reminder to all of us that none of us are perfect and that still works. Also, it gives some vaguely familiar vibes to “The Road Not Taken” but with the Antithesis? Or that’s just me, I guess. Anywho, here are the prompt lines:

First Line – Right to the end…

Last Line – ….crossed the bar.

And here’s what I designed into words:

Right to the end I kept walking. 
When it made no sense to go that afar.
But life is one even when there are several chances,
And walking back on the road you've chosen. 
Doesn't seem like a positive renewal of hope. 
So I think what they say, but try to do what I do. 
The cruel world takes me in although.
Now I regret having tread that path.
And though few but I have seen.
People coming back and going atop.
I hate all these stories,
That make me wish I had crossed the bar.

So, what do you think? About the poem, of course. Be sure to let me know because I do put out my poems here to get opinions on them. Also, I’m only suddenly getting this feeling that this could also somehow be turned into a song?? How would you make it sound and what music would you insert if that were truly to happen? Besides the usual stuff, let’s interact personal today. Are things alright for you or have you been somewhere between super busy or gloomy? That’s all from my side now. See you soon. Until then, be safe and wear a smile. 🙂
