If only I knew


I never knew what I knew best
Had no idea what I was good at
Was used to doing what others did
Used to think was right what they did
Never knew what skill I had
Floating through life as events happened around
Never thought of steps to take
Just stepped on the one that was closer
Now when I see maestros all around
I realize why I couldn't realize like they did
Now it seemed easy thing to do
Something back then I could never do
And clearly I feel its too late
I am sure in future I will look back
And say that back then I should have changed
And in reminiscence ponder If only I knew

Wow! Thoughtful poetry! I think most of us go through such a feeling at some stage of our lives. Felt the connection!

at such a stage ..I guess its better to say to ourselves "past is past.. and today is gone.. let's think about tomorrow"
