The Road We Choose

This poem is all about how life is all about the choices that we make and how they effect are life in ways we do not see but feel. And how they effect us even we are dead.

My tears spilled down into the sea

And to MY path I held the key

The hard times, sorrowfully, played across my mind

Wishing I could but rewind

To that time of purity

Before the insecurities that overran my soul.

As I looked upon the road that led

To the very souls left dead

It offered me the easy ride

And to its vulnerabilities my heart opened wide.

As millions too walked this darkened road

Every man, true color showed

My heart was dull, my eyes were blind

As is our fate within us signed

Do say farewell to the love once felt

Cause in the short life each one has dealt

We live by our choice in which we are known

For in God's judgment we stand.....alone.

Yes indeed that was a mistype...I meant to say "also".

It is written like a remorseful reflection of someone who just realized the totality of their life could be summed up in a matter of choices. The only rhyme I noticed that felt forced and unnatural was your 4th line. I think perhaps the line "As millions to walked in the road" just has been mistyped because I wouldn't be able to understand otherwise. Very well done Vic
