Exploring the journey of life: poems by Vinni Gupta
In the midst of my 20s
It all began with a whisper of settling down,
A moment when responsibility’s weight was found.
But stopping myself from believing this prospect
I chose to unveil life beyond “what’s next”
Beyond degrees, jobs, and the daily grind,
In the heart of my 20s, my journey I’ll define.
Thinking about settling now is not what this time is for,
Instead, embrace the adrenaline rush, and explore life’s open doors.
What if I stumble on the path I choose,
I’ll adapt, experience the new without excuse.
Painting my canvas with untold adventures and memories grand,
In the story of my life, my unique legends will stand.
I don’t know what sets our souls on fire in this decade,
But it just makes me live life to the brim and embrace my different shades.
From pursuing passions and embracing my fears,
To making bold choices and wiping away the tears.
A beautiful time it is to live everything you wished for,
Giving a shot to all those chances I never thought I would score.
Might climb the ladder of success and might face a downfall,
But what I would build from it, I won’t learn from a book or from someone’s life’s chapter’s after all.
Now is the time to take those solo trips and feel my own vibes,
To be free, unburdened, and wild and shape my destiny just like a daring child.
Seeking the roads that are unfamiliar to me and get lost in the midst,
Lose my way, but then regain my grip, my twist.
The times I experienced until the midst of my 20s, were not always a fairytale,
What came with it was a package of lonely times I had to sail,
The friends I used to meet everyday could catch up after months or years now,
But what’s positive is that even after years the bond stayed the same somehow.
Each day in this decade feels like a rollercoaster ride,
From heartbreak to resilience, with patience, I’ll bide.
Chasing thrills, cherishing moments, feeling so alive,
Living each moment fully, embracing what life has to provide.
The uniqueness within
Amidst life’s journey, I paused to inquire,
Could AI really replace what I aspire?
Is it that easy to take my place,
When creativity and uniqueness are what I embrace?
It’s comical, I think, when those who know this field,
Devalue my worth due to AI, making my calibre sealed.
In self-doubt, I asked the AI, “Is it really true?”
Its answer left me with a lesson brand new.
“You possess the power of your uniqueness,” it said,
“I’m born from minds like yours, where creativity is bred.
My purpose is to assist, to make your work swift,
With knowledge and creativity, your talents uplift.
In this ever-changing world, you still stand tall,
For I won’t surpass you, no, not at all.
Only you possess the vision to foresee,
The influence of your creations, setting hearts free.
For those who believe that I have the power to replace you,
They miss the essence of your vision and your point of view
It’s your unique touch, a story you’ve unfurled,
A treasure I’ll never replicate in this world.
Believe in your passion, in what you create,
I can just enhance your productivity, that’s my trait.
In your masterpiece, my role stays small,
Your creativity, after all, conquers all.
