Medical or Engineering?
What would you prefer?
These were the only options that I was given
What about the arts?
That's where my passion lies
You can't make a living out of a hobby
I was admonished, get a proper degree
Forced to take up a field I had no interest in
I slogged away for years
I graduated, got a well paying job
Worked promptly from 9 to 5
Doing seemingly satisfying work
But at night I took out my brushes
And I turned to my passion
To create, to breathe, to live
And tried not to notice
That twinge of regret I felt otherwise...
Linking this post to the A to Z Challenge.
The words written are deep and your passion which gives a sense of satisfaction comes through and alive:)

It's not Reema. But thanks anyway.
DeleteToo many people feel the same way. Fortunately, I have no artistic ability, so I have no regrets. Bring on the boring stuff...
ReplyDeleteHahah :D You are more talented than you know!
DeleteThat happened to me! Not because I wanted to be a writer, but because I wanted to be a homemaker and my college professors said, "What a waste!"
ReplyDeleteOh well, someday my son with be President and I'll pull that memory out for a good laugh.
