Far from Home

When you have to choose between success and living near to family, sometimes the right option is not the easy one. A few months back, I took a transfer from a city very near to my home, to a city on the other side of the country. It was difficult, but with my family’s support, I was able to go that far…
 
They asked me, why I am going so far…
It’s like walking alone leaving the comfort of a car…
But there are few things which are meant to be done…
It’s a race, you are a racer and there is a long run…
 
Sometimes you have to go far, leaving the comfort zone…
Have to keep your step beyond the limit of the known…
Because life is a difficult road, with no finite range…
And with my full will, I am ready for this change…
 




 
Yes, there will be days when I will feel like going home…
All the passion will feel temporary, like the foam…
But I will stand tall on the decision I made…
I will keep walking and these emotions will fade…
 
I know there will be a day, when I will achieve the height…
But if I will fall down, losing control on my flight…
I will make sure I won’t come home, regretful and crying…
Because there will be more to regret for not even trying…
 




 
This is a big world and I am just a small bird…
And there will be places about which I have never heard…
I am just taking a leap out of my little nest…
Because this is the time to fly and not to take rest…
