" Diverged " By Jacky Kapadia At dawn where quiet crossroads softly gleam, Two silent paths pulled thought from steady ground, One paved with echoes of a borrowed dream, The other wild, where truth is rarely found. I lingered where the compass lost its voice, Where doubt and wonder wrestled in my chest, No map could teach the courage of a choice, No crowd could tell which way would serve me best. So I chose the trail that questioned who I’d be, Where shadows spoke and certainty was thin, Each step unmade the man I used to see, And carved a voice I had not held within. Now looking back through time’s unfolding thread, The roads still whisper what I might have been, Yet in the life this divergence has led, I found not loss—but where I must begin. ==================END=================== #diverged, #poetry, #modernpoetry, #poemwriting, #creativewriting, #writersofinstagram, #poetsofinstagram, #poetrycommunity, #poem, #writinginspiration, #literaryart, #wordsmith, #artofwords, #deepthoughts, #introspective, #selfdiscovery, #lifechoices, #pathless, #journeywithin, #philosophicalpoetry

" Against the Common Way " By Jacky Kapadia Against the common way I chose to stand, Where footprints fade before they shape the land, No guiding signs, no echoes left to hear, Just restless winds that whispered, “Do not fear.” They walked in lines where certainty was sold, In measured steps, predictable and cold, But I sought storms that shattered quiet skies, For truth, I learned, in wild defiance lies. The road untraveled carved me into flame, Each doubt a spark, each loss a forged new name, While comfort called from paths so neatly drawn, I chased the dusk and found myself in dawn. So let them follow where the many go, In borrowed light they’ll never truly glow, For those who dare to break and drift away, Will write their stars—against the common way. ==================END=================== #Poetry, #InspirationalPoetry, #MotivationalPoetry, #OriginalPoem, #CreativeWriting, #PoemOfTheDay, #WritersOfInstagram, #PoetryCommunity, #Inspiration, #SelfDiscovery, #FollowYourOwnPath, #BreakTheNorm, #AgainstTheGrain, #BeDifferent, #DareToBeDifferent, #ThinkDifferent, #LifeJourney, #InnerStrength, #Courage, #MindsetMatters, #PersonalGrowth, #SuccessMindset, #DreamBig, #StayUnique, #PositiveVibes

🌾 " The Road Less Worn " By Jacky Kapadia Beyond the din of hurried feet, Where echoes fade and doubts are born, There winds a path both wild and sweet — A silent stretch, the road less worn. ✨ No lantern lights its rugged face, No crowd applauds the traveler’s choice, Yet stars descend in quiet grace To guide the heart, to lift the voice. 🌙 Its stones may bruise the tender will, Its turns conceal the rising dawn, But dreams grow fierce when nights are still And faith walks on where fear has gone. 🌿 So tread that way with spirit sworn, Let courage be your trusted guide, For souls are shaped, and truths are born Upon the paths few dare to stride. 🌟 ==================END=================== #TheRoadLessWorn, #InspirationalPoetry, #MotivationalPoem, #LifeJourney, #PathLessTraveled, #SuccessMindset, #CourageToChoose, #PersonalGrowth, #DreamBigLiveBold, #MindsetMatters, #InnerStrength, #PoetryLovers, #WritersCommunity, #CreativeWriting, #DeepThoughts, #SoulfulWords, #PositiveVibesOnly, #SelfDiscoveryJourney, #BelieveInYourself, #RiseAndShine

" The Unchosen Path " By Jacky Kapadia I did not seek this winding road, This trail not marked on any chart. It found me when the burdens showed, And whispered softly to my heart. No map was drawn, no guide was near, Just silence stretching deep and wide. Yet something in me felt no fear— For unchosen paths are born inside. The grass was worn where others tread, Where comfort blooms and voices cheer. But I was led where light was shed, On ground unknown, yet crystal clear. Each step I took felt raw and true, No echo of a past design. The sky was old, the world was new— And every stone became a sign. There were no hands to pull me through, No promised ease, no paved return. Just wind and will and sky so blue, And fires I had yet to burn. I learned to trust the silent pace, To walk where footsteps had no name. To meet the shadow, face to face, And rise from ashes, not from fame. So here I stand on soil untold, A soul unchosen, yet complete. Not made of silver, not of gold— But forged by solitary feet. And should you find your own unmapped way, With no applause and no applause, Know this: the unchosen path will stay The one that led you back to yours. ==================END=================== #TheUnchosenPath, #PoetryLovers, #InspirationalPoetry, #LifeJourney, #ChoosingYourPath, #SoulfulWriting, #PoemsOfLife, #MotivationalVerse, #PathLessTraveled, #PoetryCommunity, #SelfDiscovery, #WritingInspiration, #InnerStrength, #PoeticSoul, #EmbraceTheJourney, #UnconventionalLife, #PoetryDaily, #DeepThoughts, #CreativeWriting, #MindfulLiving

🌿 The Lesser-Worn Way 🌿 By Jacky Kapadia Along the hush of dawn’s untraveled grey, Where timid winds forget the maps of men, I felt the pull of some unspoken way, A silent road that called me once again. No banners marked its curve through shadowed light, No crowded footsteps carved its fragile clay, Yet hope burned softly in the mist of sight, And stirred my soul to walk the lesser way. Through thorn and doubt, beneath uncertain skies, I gathered strength from dreams I dared to keep, For every fear that flickered in disguise Awoke a courage buried long and deep. Now twilight crowns the miles my heart has known, With quiet pride no louder paths could claim, For on that road where I had walked alone, I found my truth — and softly spoke its name. ✨ ==================END=================== #poetry, #poem, #lesserwornway, #inspirationalpoetry, #motivationalpoem, #lifejourney, #selfdiscovery, #courage, #followyourpath, #uniquepath, #creativewriting, #writerscommunity, #poetrylovers, #poetrygram, #poetrydaily, #deepthoughts, #mindfulness, #innerstrength, #personalgrowth, #dreamchasers ✨

" A Path of One’s Own "✨ By Jacky Kapadia In quiet dawns where silver hopes arise, A lone heart listens to its inner call, Beyond the echo of the crowd’s disguise, It dares to stand, unshaken, proud and tall. Through winding roads where doubt and shadows stay, Each fragile step becomes a steady flame, The soul discovers light along the way, And learns that fear and faith are not the same. With every fall, new strength begins to grow, Like hidden roots that deepen in the storm, A private truth the restless winds may know — That self-made dreams reshape the common norm. At last, the path once veiled in distant haze Unfolds in hues of purpose, clear and bright, For those who walk with courage through life’s maze Create their dawn… and become their guiding light. 🌅 ==================END=================== #PathOfOnesOwn, #InspirationalPoetry, #MotivationalPoem, #SelfDiscoveryJourney, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerStrength, #LifePath, #FollowYourDreams, #CourageToChange, #MindsetMatters, #BelieveInYourself, #PoetryLovers, #WritersCommunity, #CreativeExpression, #SoulfulWriting, #PositiveVibesOnly, #SuccessMindset, #DreamBig, #InspirationDaily, #PoetryGram ✨

" The Unique Turn " By Jacky Kapadia At every crossroad life appears the same, Familiar roads with promises well-worn; Yet quiet paths, unnamed and without fame, Hold hidden dawns where truer selves are born. A single choice can tilt the course of days, Like wind that shifts the journey of a sail; What once seemed loss may open wiser ways, Where courage grows each time we choose to fail. The world applauds the roads that many tread, Predictable, secure, and widely known; But growth begins where uncertain steps are led, Where daring hearts claim journeys of their own. So when the moment calls for change and nerve, Embrace the bend where old directions burn; For destiny is shaped by those who swerve— By souls unafraid to take the unique turn. ✨ ==================END=================== #Poetry, #Poem, #InspirationalPoetry, #MotivationalPoetry, #LifePoetry, #CreativeWriting, #PoetryCommunity, #PoetryLovers, #PoetryOfTheDay, #PoetryGram, #PoetryLife, #ModernPoetry, #OriginalPoetry, #WritersCommunity, #WritersOfInstagram, #SpilledInk, #PoetrySociety, #PoetryInspiration, #LifeJourney, #PersonalGrowth, #SelfDiscovery, #MindfulLiving, #LifeChoices, #FollowYourPath, #UniqueTurn, #BelieveInYourself, #PositiveVibes, #InspiringWords, #MotivationDaily, #ArtOfWords

" Where the Paths Diverge " By Jacky Kapadia Where the forest breathes in quiet shade, Two silent roads before me lie; One worn by countless hurried feet, One whispering softly, “Only try.” The first was bright with promised ease, Its surface smooth, its future clear; The other curved through mist and doubt, Yet stirred a quiet call to hear. I paused between the pull of both, Where choice becomes the shaping art; For every step a traveler takes Leaves unseen footprints on the heart. So on I walk the road unknown, With courage as my steady guide; For where the paths at last diverge, The truest journeys start inside. ==================END=================== #poetry, #poem, #poetrycommunity, #poetrylovers, #originalpoetry, #modernpoetry, #inspirationalpoetry, #motivationalpoetry, #creativewriting, #writerscommunity, #poetsofinstagram, #poetrywriting, #lifechoices, #pathinlife, #journeyoflife, #selfdiscovery, #deepthoughts, #thoughtprovoking, #literarypoetry, #reflectivepoetry, #writersofinstagram, #poetryinspiration, #artofwords, #poeticexpression, #mindfulwriting, #poetrygram, #inspiringwords, #lifejourney, #meaningfulpoetry, #soulfulwriting

" At the Fork " By Jacky Kapadia At the fork where quiet roads divide, One paved with echoes of what’s been, One lit by doubt and daring stride, I pause between the now and then. The first is lined with borrowed light, Familiar signs I’ve learned to read, The other bends beyond my sight, A path that asks for faith, not speed. Each choice reshapes the name I wear, Each step edits the tale I tell, For destinies are drawn in air By how we choose to walk, not dwell. So I lift my eyes from fear’s design And trust the pull of truer art— Not where the crowd has drawn the line, But where the soul declares its start. ==================END=================== #AtTheFork, #Poetry, #LifeChoices, #Crossroads, #DecisionMaking, #Journey, #SelfDiscovery, #InnerVoice, #NewBeginnings, #Reflection, #MindfulLiving, #PathLessTraveled, #Hope, #Courage, #Growth #poem

Two Roads 🛣️ By Jacky Kapadia Two roads unroll where morning breaks, One paved with promise, clear and wide; The other bends through silent lakes And shadows where old doubts reside. The first is lit by crowded flame, With signposts carved in public sight; The second bears no guiding name, Yet hums with undiscovered light. I weigh the maps of borrowed dreams Against the pull of untamed will, And hear within the crossing streams A choice that time alone can still. So step by step, I claim my way— Not led by fear nor shaped by crowd; For roads are vows we make each day, And walking one is choosing loud. ==================END=================== #TwoRoads, #poetry, #lifechoices, #journey, #decision, #path, #destiny, #selfdiscovery, #philosophy, #inspiration, #motivation, #mindfulness, #reflection, #hope, #courage, #future, #dreams, #freedom, #writing, #poem
