Blank Pages

These blank pages

right before my eyes

Are like the future days

of my life

yet to live by.

 

Staring. Waiting. Unfolding.

Boundless.

Scary. Exciting. Hopeful -

Empty...

 

After three decades of existence

It's like coming back to puberty -

Confusion.

Only that you feel wiser

Because by now you've learnt

a lot from your stupid mistakes

and you've survived many

of life's battles...

 

Yet the unknown which is

called 'Tomorrow' awaits,

Inviting. Challenging. Taunting.

Calling.

And I-

I'm responding

Like how this blank page of my journal

is now full.

I will hold nothing back.

If I held Nothing Back

I would no longer be enigmatic. :)
