Comfort’s Horizon

By Himanshi Jaglan

In the halls of science, equations align,

A scripted path, not a dream, entwined.

Forced to fit within a mold,

Questioning norms, stories untold.

Daily battles of what's deemed right,

Balancing roles in society's light.

Engulfed by norms, a soul's eclipse,

Straying from dreams, society's scripts.

College pursuits, a quest for love,

Friendship's stars gleaming above.

Through love's trials and friendships flown,

Life's lessons in relationships sown.

Leaving academia, no results to glean,

A broader life, a distant dream.

Dental scripts left behind, I roam,

Seeking a life, a place called home.

Jobs diverse, hardships wide,

Life's lessons learned along the ride.

Rich experiences, yet money speaks,

A struggle for the life one seeks.

Daily fears linger, a new start's call,

Venturing beyond the known, walking tall.

Opportunities beckon, a chance to flee,

Yet fear whispers, what will life be?

Outside the comfort, into the unknown,

A journey into habits daily grown.

Scared of the change, the uncharted sea,

Old yet uncertain of what could be.

Earnings enough for self-indulgence,

But the world's allure, my heart's resonance.

Desire for more, yet paths unclear,

Longing for a life without the fear.

As time ticks on, growing old,

Yearning for a world untold.

Wanting it all, but how to attain?

The saddest part, knowledge is in vain.
