The Price You Pay

Some things come with a price.....other things just happen when left alone.

 

Looking around, my

world seems to

change

 

Unruffled pillows

surround my head

in bed

 

Its been so long

since I’ve been

home

 

-Time -changes hearts

to beat in different

tempos

 

Choices to be happy

or to be humble

present itself

 

Finding who I am

is a chance I must

accept

 

My identity and

soul depends on

this decision

 

The Price You Pay

Is the “Price” you pay

to be “you.”

Nicely written Amy and speaks immensely as an accumulative insight, and the
emotional details combine with imagery and form to create a vivid impression on the
reader's mind, defining what it means to know the cost of life and experience,
Great job, I really liked it.

Looking back on who we were is one way to gauge how far we've come. Life is about choices and consequences.

[TL Boehm]

true words.
