Am I Doing Fine? Poem by Sanchita Julka

Life was fine, good enough to make me smile and laugh quite often...
I was soaring high, dreams, ambitions, aspirations
My heart full of positivity
My body at the peak of youthfulness
Undaunted spirit of love,
Of affirmation, I was open
To whatever came across me
It seemed, I was floating in a
Sea of opportunities...
All so promising of success
Few, I thought over, others
Just fitted into my life
Without even letting me know
The deep effect they will draw
Years passed by, in a blink
I had to stop at a crossroad
Which life directed me to
Looking back, I was shocked
How drastically everything changed
People, places, and myself! !
Some faded away, some stayed as innate frames
The spotlight shifted to a new angle
What made up my thoughts then
Hardly did make any sense now
It's difficult to account for
What I lost and what I gained
But one thing is sure, my path
Took a turn, slowly and today
I reached a place unfamiliar to
My dreams
I don't know if this is quite the
Road meant for me
But something bothers me here
Why do I laugh so less, smile so little
Cry so often, sigh at everything!
Is there another path, from here
Which can take me to there
Where I can say, ' don't worry
I am doing fine'!
