born ready
following the road - sometimes in the dark
so many forks in the road
everything has brought me
to there here and now
waiting for it to come
i'm open to good things happening
born ready
at this place and time
i can feel it approaching
it will happen because
i was born ready

I have to disagree with
"born ready" and " following the road"
I, personally, would think of: Born ready to make and pave my own road rather than born to follow the road.
I like your simple and thoughtful words.

Hey Iman,
I can definitely see what you're saying. I wrote the words as they came to me. I think sometimes I'm on my own path, and other times I think that I'm on the path that the world thinks I should be on. Thanks for making me realize that.

Hi Kirk,
In fact thanks for your words because they made me think about how I lead my life.
To be on your own path and yet consider other paths..I think that is a balance hard to achieve. You got be a patient person, a good listener and have a talent to compromise.
What would you do when you are in a situation where your path conflicts with the world's path? How much you are ready to shift gears and start or follow a new road?
I know I might have taken your lines in a different direction..I m just a curious person. Sorry.
No need to be sorry at all! :)
I agree with what you said about balance. I'm kind of at that point right now. I'm at a fork in the road at this time in my life. I think that what I need to do and have the courage to do, is to have faith in myself. I know what the world expects, but it's not what I want for myself at all.
My dream is to be doing art full-time, painting, writing poetry. I've taken the first steps towards that and I think that this blog was a step; a step closer to what I want to be doing.
Talk soon!
Kirk
Thanks Kirk.
It happens that many times we read what we are. We tend to introduce our own experiences and subjectivity into others thoughts / words / paintings....
What get me into commenting on your thoughts is what I am now.
I am in a process of deciding what path to follow or create. I m graduating soon, and it is a big transition. People are expecting me to do something, I want to do something else, the circumstances I am in now impose a different road. I cannot be oblivious of the barriers.
Shall I Do what I want to? Can I do what I want? Or do what is supposed to be done?
It is not easy. As I was preparing my breakfast this morning, I said to myself, I have to think clearly and decide. What did my brain meant by thinking clearly, I don't know :)
You have beautiful and very peaceful dreams and realistic also. You don't want to be a "starving artist". I liked that.
Well Good Luck and Work and Hope you ll Realize your Dreams.
PS. Let me know when you publish your first poetry book.
