At times we find ourselves
Living that very day
Which decides our path...
I feel my 'that very day' is tomorrow.
I need to know...
Does big decisions really have the power to change lives forever?
If so, then mine will change completely...Tomorrow
I wish I could know...
If only we could remain ourselves
Could our lives direct decisions instead of decisions directing lives?
Some people believe that life is too unpredictable...
But I've been through so much unpredictability
That a predicted life seems unpredictable.
You cannot predict life but that doesn't make it unpredictable
Because these two words are not mentioned in Life's dictionary.
Tomorrow I can become poor
I can become rich
Tomorrow I can become aimless
I can become determined
I can become heartless
Or can gain a wonderful heart
I can become the master
I can become the slave
The only thing that I don't wish to become
Is someone other than myself
It's a decision within a decision
Like a dream within a dream
I decide to remain who I am
Before and after decisions...
For me it's more difficult than many difficult things...
Perhaps one of the most difficult tasks in life.
The 'big' decision may alter my path
But that 'small' decision will get me home...hopefully.
Practical application of poem: I couldn't 'predict' that this poem will be completely out of format (it doesn't match any poetry format in the world I think). Generally everything I write, is out of rythm and pattern...but I like it this way because it's straight from the mind (or heart, as most of you'd say)...infact even this is a pattern....a pattern of no patterns...#paradoxes I think I'll write another poem for that sometime soon. Anyways, I hope u like the products of my mind...& also I'd like to say, it's been a great thing to get amazing readers who appreciate and correct me...and it's all because of hellopoetry.com So thank you and keep comming for more poetry (which doesn't really seem like poetry)...so thank you again and have a great day!
