A Million Steps....

I'm standing on a crossroad by myself..... waiting for a sign to tell me where to head,
there are no signboards or milestones...to guide, just a dim light blinking from the horizon,
a pleasant smell of some flowers....is felt every now and then....
Feeling tired now and want to sit, but there is this little voice in my head,
whispering to me, I have a million steps to take before i rest.

Then i look back to find faint footprints of myself leading me here....from another crossroad,
they keep becoming fainter and fainter as i keep staring at them, thinking how did I come here,
i get no answer.... i am frustrated with the agony of confusion, as it has taken a lot of effort to reach where I am and one bad choice can ruin it all..... i shout....i shout at the top of my voice and ask for help, but from where I am standing, my words don't even echo.... I feel like going back, where I came from....something tells me I don't belong here....
But I know its just my mind telling me to quit..... it is scared of the effort that will be needed.....
but my soul cries in a whispering tone, I have a million steps to take before I quit.

I pick up my heavy bag full of hopes, dreams, ambition and desire....and start walking,
I decide to follow the dim light....as I start walking I feel that zest all over again.....
what I felt when I left for this road.....I keep walking towards the light hoping its the sign I was looking for,
my mind tells tells me to wait and think again..... but I whisper to myself, I have a million steps to take before I wait....
