Promises not kept

Would I be a different person today?

Had I kept all promises given to myself yesterday!

And how different would I be?

Would it be enough to change my resume in any way!

Promised me to stand up for my rights

 I Am confused today about what is wrong and right!

Should I stand for a right that is morally wrong?

Or should I fight for a wrong that is legally right?

To be a doctor had a clear motive,

To serve society was a theoretical initiative.

However good it sounds like an essay on paper

In real life, it’s all subjective!

 Every turn, confronted with options several

 Had to keep only one, for most were ephemeral! 

One was kept, rest were consigned to oblivion,

Were they enough to cause damage collateral!

Giving back to society, serving the nation,

Were the themes of discourse as a young.

Was so busy with societal obligations

That I forgot those unfulfilled ones!

Today when I look back

And stare at the dark

See no light at the end of a tunnel

Would those un-kept ones get me that missing spark!
