Being where I am today,
sometimes I wonder about all the things
that have brought me to this point.
I ask myself a question -
Do I really want to be where I am?
I had options,
chances and choices to react differently
than how I did,
that way I might have ended –
some place different than where I am
It's too late now
to think of things that could have been.
The truth is,
this is how it is and this is how it was meant to be.
Reacting any different to the situations
than the ways I did
would have meant hiding behind a veil,
not being the real person that I am
and even though at times that might sound tempting and appropriate,
in the long run it would have been proved selfish,
rude and unlike me.
I agree,
at times it means I am being taken for granted
but perhaps that is the purpose I have to serve.
At times,
it also led to accusations of being what I am not
but that does not
and should not
stop me from being the me that I am.
You can peel off the mask
but how would you peel off the skin?
Yes,
I am where I was meant to be.
This is where I wanted to be,
I have come a long way
and I have much far to go.
This is the road I walk.
Throw stones at me, if you wish
and I will make a road with them.
