The path in front is too blurry to walk ahead!
I don't know where to step further.
Am I drunk?
The glass of wine was must be too strong,
Or else why am I feeling so tipsy?
Or is it the surface on which I'm standing, rickety?
I moved ahead my wobbly feet,
Freaking out what if I fall?
Trying really hard to stand erect,
Completely clueless I looked straight!
Though I knew my destination,
But I was afraid, will it even be the right one to arrive?
Because of my drowsy eyes,
The path became a bit uncertain too!
But surprisingly I'm loving this dizziness,
I could feel butterflies in my stomach
As it was exciting as well as chilling!
At the same time my shaky feet
Were giving me anxiety attacks!
As I was too scared to fall,
What if I stumble and fail this adventure?
Adventures are meant to overcome obstacles,
I know that but one thought is constantly poking me:
Like now I'm alone in this drunken state,
There's no support at all,
So will it be the same then?
No support to hold me tight and push me further?
No support to guide and lead the way ahead?
Not even any sort of motivation?
Gradually my imperfections resumed to haunt me too!
To gather up courage I looked back, almost fainted,
But somehow managed to stay in conscience.
Looked back to where and how I started,
How much path I covered up to reach at this point,
What challenges I faced not to get senseless!
That truly inspired me to keep going on
Till I reach my journey's end.
Though I don't really know what will happen,
But I do know that I need to continue this journey
And keep on walking down the misty path
Until I see the ray of my destination!
