Life's Dilemma

My parents wanted me to be a perfect child

But I always chose to sit on the farthest aisle

Tried sneaking around to see what was there

Lights blinked from everywhere

Some being strong and some being faint

But for that I had to be there to make

Always I had to make back in time

In order to look like the perfect child

 

Now it feels I have gone so far

Returning back will be a war

I know I can do it in time

But I again see some doors in line

And I want to see what’s inside

The risk is too big to take

But I really still want to play

 

The dilemma is when to stop

And return back to the steady halt

But the journey still seems so long

Expectations grow all along

 

I wish for the day

When I will stand

And mom will say

You have been the perfect one

The chances seem dimmest scarce

But I know I have to win this race

appreciate your valuable words of wisdom, they have been noted.

the opponent is your inner core
