The future is frightening, yet exciting.
Your heart itches, but your head aches.
Should you take the ride more satisfying?
Or should you settle for the bowl that never breaks?
You ponder all the possibilities,
But half of them fade sooner or later.
You wonder if you have the abilities,
If you really have what it takes to become greater
How do you think at the heat of the moment?
When so many factors need to be considered?
Like a chaotic cloud of torment.
Maybe some things never mattered.
You stand at the crossroad of your life,
And you are the one and only who knows what you desire.
The choices in life can be so hard. There are just so many; sometimes you can't even tell which is right or wrong. We don't know the long-term consequences of our decision. It's kinda scary how our whole future depends on choices we make. But in the long-run, we learn from our mistakes and are able to understand the important things in our lives. :)

My teachers have always told me that it's okay to make mistakes but as I grew older I realized that it's not fine to make mistakes. It's called "mistake" for a reason, one should always try to avoid it if possible. If we keep thinking that making mistakes is no big deal, we're more likely to spend less time analyzing the outcomes of our actions. That's why I feel that the older we get, the more it hurts when we make the wrong decisions. :)

I like how you captured this crossroad in life. I think that life is full on endless decision and making the right one can be stressful, as there is no way of knowing the actual outcomes of those decisions. I like that part of the poem, because you captured that ambiguity.
