Choice Poem by hema ravi

“This is your last chance
With you lies the choice, ”
the teacher whispered.
In my heart, I whimpered.
“Do not miss it,
You are fine and fit.”

Aware that I cannot let go
I needed to win, could not say No.
This, to me was an acid test,
To confirm that I was among the best.
Here lay another opportunity
To prove my ability.

Where do I start?
How do I end?
Fact or Fiction?
Science or Myth?
My brain, I ransacked
All through the night, until dawn.

Will reveal my speciality.
Truth, and nothing but truth is the reality
Bliss that is elusive,
Can be discovered when passive.
No need to repent or be pensive,
Truth is simple to perceive.
