What's Right

Left or right. Is right always right? Maybe left is right for some, and maybe others are content being in the center.

Wandering
Towards or away from something
I'll never be sure
It's like I'm caught in the middle
Being pulled
Even though I'm always traveling
Never turning back
I'm pulled
From one side to the next
I like the left side better
It feels right
Unlike the right side
That appears more common
The right side should be right
So they say
But I prefer the left
It fits me right
The right will always hold a place
Occasionally I will venture back
However, the left is where I'll remain
If just for a time
To experience what I feel is right
As opposed to what is said to be

Very cool write, sis! Very cool!

Very well written! Your word choice is great, although the repetition of left and right is very, very tight and dulling. Perhaps focusing left on the right and left sides, you could focus more on how they make the speaker feel. But all in all it's a very good poem.

Very good, I write a lot about homosexuality and I applaud anyone that writes about it! Wait to go, I can see that you left it open so that way it could mean multiple things which is very good. I wrote a poem called "A Rose on Castro Street" which is open too but it's really about Harvey Milk, I would really like it if you read it and gave me some feed back :]
