Choices

Life's to short

to live with regrets

Live everyday

as if it was your last

 

Looking in the mirror

stareing at myself

holding a gun in one hand

a knife in the other

 

Deciding on which to use

maybe both

maybe none

I just don't know

 

Life is full

of too many choices

which way to go

what road to take

 

Should I stay

or should I leave

Should I die

or should I live

 

Do I have a true love

or will I always be alone

will I ever be married

or will I never have a ring on my hand

 

I'm sick of choices

there's to many

my brain spins around

it's about had enough

 

I've done decided

what path to take

if I leave I'll be gone

but if I stay I might find happiness

 

So I'll stay

and be merry

if only for a moment

or for my life

Very well written, it is easy for the reader to instantly connect with the emotions and thoughts going through your head. This has good imagery and makes you think about your life and how you could make it better and stop having the thought of death as the only solution, makes you want to just slow down for a second and just live in the moment while it lasts. Good job.

It's always hard to turn your brain off when it starts thinking too much. Even when you don't want it to. Our choices are up to us, good or bad. Great message!

Great job! And it's always good to be merry, even though not every day is going to be the best. It's best to live your life and be happy while you can, enjoy your surroundings and the certain favorite people around you. Take in the opportunities that come your way and don't give in to what people say about you. You only know who you are and if people want to judge that, then let them. It's too bad they're too bored with their lives, so they have to focus on others around them. And yes, I agree, life IS full of too many choices...hurts my head sometimes cause there's so much to think about at one time...you never know quite what to do or say, so you become stuck for awhile.

stuck for along while sometimes

[DoNt LoSe YoUrSeLf]

We all get stuck sometimes and that's okay :)

So lively this is!!! This is a perfect poem to express buck up and live your life to the fullest.
We all have made the wrong turns, inclined towards the wrong deed, chosen the wrong men- but in the end our main aim of life is to be happy. And nobody should stop us from doing that.

Well written Kymberley!

This was sad and hopeful at the same time. I loved it. There are spelling errors and Ashley covered most of them, but in the second to last stanza I think "gona" needs to be gone. Other than that, this was sweet and sorrowful!

Nice poem it reflects a choice well chosen... all the same it is a harder choice... but it leaves lots of options open :-)
