Dad dreams a soldier, will I achieve?
Mom dreams a doctor, will I achieve?
Never seen the dream I see everyday,
which at least is something, still I achieve.
Frost had two, so did I
roads to be taken, but will I achieve?
Hopes over hopes, day by day
crushing me down, till I achieve.
He wails in me, the Jerrin I know
night after night, the fear I carry, will I achieve?

Really like the ghazal!
ReplyDeleteLove the reference to Frost and the last couplet! :)
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
ReplyDeleteThere's still time to change the road you're on.
