STANDING ON THE CROSSROAD

CROSSROAD

What is the way forward,

We were told to look forward.

Never to look backward.

We were stocked afterwards,

Nobody was willing to help,

We were helpless, just like the chicken,

In captivity of the hawk.

Roller-coaster, they term our situation.

Teeter_totter they term our condition.

Just like a stray we wander. When they advise you, look backward.

When they praise you, look backward.

When they raise you up, look downward.

It is good to be focused,

But bad to be knocked off.

SUMMARY


We find ourselves in some situation in life where it difficult to decipher our next move or decision, most people we see as friends turn their back against us in such instances, you are left with no one but yourself. In moment like this, you meant to be careful of the idea you seek from people, people will only celebrate a successful person a mediocre is left at his/her mercy those who put you in the mess are still gonna make mockery of you.

Welcome, and thank for taking your time to read through .

Best advice I ever got was to have no expectations from anyone. That way you are used to rely solely on your own. Nice poem.

Believe in yourself, that's the key to life.thanks for the comment

Nice article dear

Thanks

Real talk

I believe at the end of the day we only have our own back. We are our own hero 😊. Some may extend help when our boat is sinking but really you are the only person who could give the extra push to continue persevering. Indeed, this world ia a tough world and only tough people like us will reign victorious! Such a great poem you wrote thanks for sharing😊 goodDay friend!😁

It only you but you, let keep the hope alive,thanks for reading through.

We have people pushing us forward but ain't there when we look back and we fall backward later on..
