Bewildered! Poem by Gule Rukhsar

I am feeling new emotions
As I untangle each fiber of my existence.
Every knot that I untie
Leaves me even more bewildered,
Flustered and questioning
The path that was chosen for me
Or was it I who chose it?
I did travel through it, did I not?
But of course, I did...
I have my scars to show for it.
Don't you see...
But what of the destination?
Am I even to reach where this path leads
Or do I carve another with bold strokes?
It's like a vast canvas that I have to paint.
I know what I want to draw
But I feel my hands are tied down
Even though I just broke free.
I don't know what's holding me.
Is it a fear of the past or the time to be?
