At The Threshold Of A New Life Poem by Laya Bajpai

I am at the threshold of new experiences,
A new life.
Maybe, it will be beautiful and fulfilling.
Maybe, it will take me to new heights of gratification
A new muse to ponder on
New thoughts, new meanings,
The thoughts of a bright future enthralls me,
I feel a new high in life.
But, hold on.
Is so much excitement warranted?
Maybe the new experience will give me mixed feelings.
Like most things in life,
I have to take the new moments with a pinch of salt,
Be prepared for a mix of positives and negatives.
Life is a mix of beautiful and not so beautiful,
They peacefully co-exist.
Within me, if I look inside
The good and bad lie side by side
Does this mean I can't be happy, excited?
Surely not, I can be happy, exhilarated
Excited and dance with joy.
Not allow any foreboding thoughts to spoil my happiness,
I also can walk hand-in-hand with happiness.
It is also something I can partake in my life
Yes, indeed I too deserve happiness
