Kalakar poetry submission

“Aspired Destination”

"Let go of what let go of you"

If you feel like this train is taking a different route,

The route that makes your heart fills with doubt

Neither right or wrong

Just a detour from the destination you once aspired to reach

Just a plan you hadn't planned to read.

No stop defines your full ability,

So step onto the platform of possibility

Cause the life we have isn't a one-way ticket,

Instead there's journeys out there waiting for us to board and pick it.

If this journey brings you pain,

Step off and you'll still gain

What you lost will always return with better things you shall receive,

So learn every lesson and teach your heart to believe,

There will always be another train to catch,

In every platform that whispers what dreams can catch.
