NOT DOING RIGHT

I was caged by own perception of me,

it was like as if i am doing what i want but not doing exactly what i want

what is exactly what i want

i sometimes look at the sky

looking for hints and clues

which fate might have left for me

i look for the right path which god might have carved for me

who is god?what is god?

and why did he create a right path or did he even create a right path?

maybe it's not him who created THE right path

i guess it was us

obsessed with the idea of chasing the right path

obsessed with the idea of giving meaning to our life

so that we don't feel worthless when the existensial crisis hits just the spot at exactly 2:oo am .

I have always been the type of person who aspired to do the right thing , behave in the right way, just doing everything right until i realised there is no right or no wrong , don't take it the wrong way here i am not justifying people committing evil stuff like murder or something , i am just talking about the everyday decisions we take, the career path we choose for ourselves, settting our priorities and many more things. i have had this habit of deciding what exactly is right and sometimes it was not even right for me, it was more like what would look right for me from a third person perspective, which eventually led to me getting super caged for the sake of all this right thing bullshit, so basically why i am telling you all this it's to give you context of this poem although the context might be evident by reading it, still i am giving it that's because like i said there is no right thing or right way, in the end it's you who make things, your choices right.

hope you liked this one, HAPPY READING!
