The Prisons You Build for Yourself

If I had more time
If I knew for sure
If someone would go with me
If I had more money
If it wasn’t so risky
If I was more confident
What if they let me down
What if it doesn’t work out
What if people laugh
What if people talk
What if I change my mind
What if there’s a better opportunity
What if it’s a waste of time
If I knew someone else who’d done it
If I won the lottery, then I would….
If I was 10 years younger
What if I fail
Maybe next year
Maybe its not for me
Maybe its not such a good idea
But I’ve never done anything like that before
But I don’t want people to think I’m……….
What if I lose friends
If it ain’t broke why fix it
Maybe another time
Maybe when I retire
Maybe I’m not ready
Maybe I’m not cut out for this
What if I’m out of my depth
People like me don’t do that sort of thing
People won’t take me seriously
Nobody supports my idea
Maybe I’m making a mistake
Maybe I should just make do
Maybe I’m being too ambitious
What if i’m no good at it
But I don’t know where to start
But I’m no good at that sort of thing
The list goes on, and on…..
Stay in your prison, stare at it’s walls or be brave, have faith, follow your calling, realise your potential, start taking small steps, and get on with it!

Ana Daksina – A poet is the strangest sort of soul You in this life may e'er expect to meet More broken even while more truly whole, Innocently intending well, more sweet Than any but a five year old should be Unfit to meet a callused world's demand Or to behave aught expediently — All grace in flight; an albatross on land Do not the all too common error make Do not fall into the too easy trap Avoid the fatal egoic mistake Imagining that poet be a sap Powerful spirits, classic and antique, Give voice when poets ope their mouths to speak

  6. Kranti – Hi, this is Kranti. A blogger and free spirit. I believe writing is a blessing to me! It makes me feel complete & better as a person. For me, every little experience counts in life. Incidents I come across always inspire me to share my experience. I think, if my blogs can encourage a single person in some way or spread little happiness I will feel truly blessed. Life is too short to get caught up in negative thoughts, let's radiate some positive vibes together! Thanks for visiting my blogs, spending time with me, and supporting me! Love you all 💛✨✨
