Alter Ego
Alter Ego
By Arman Hoque
I took a step on a path, on which I firmly stood.
I realized I’d been standing, plainly
Misunderstood.
The world had been moving all around me,
Suddenly past, present, and future had found me.
I collected my thoughts, collected my minds,
Infinite possibilities, from one past that reminds.
Infinite futures as i grow on my way.
Yesterday reaches tomorrow through today.
Somehow, I collected a random thought,
Rode the wave and this far it’s brought.
Challenged the future and a good fight I fought.
Till caught was I in possibilities I had wrought.
None of what happened prepared me for naught.
Nothing in all the things I was taught.
Trapped on a path, to destiny I was caught.
Thought of alternatives quite a lot.
Life’s journey crosses many paths strange.
Felt it was time to make a life path change.
Instead of of looking in looking out instead.
Get into the world; get out of my head.
About this poem
A poem about the past, And future coming too fast; A now that does not last; A moment that just passed.
