all by my self
is this truly my fate?
∙϶∙
when faced with choices
my indecision
determined
which direction i’d take
if we don’t move
forward
when we have the option
we are choosing
to live in the past
alone
i listened to my fears
never
to take the chance
that love could succeed
now… all by my self
regretting the roads not taken
a cliché, but true
too late to change
the indecisions made
∙϶∙
all
by
my
self

Your poetry always looks beautiful on the page. This poem considers a position of loneliness with a sense of pride. Somethings are hard earned even if based on a shaky decision.
my personal belief is that the risk of being hurt is better than being alone. ♥ thank you for your kind comment about the look of my posts. {smile}
A poignant poem. I can relate. Also, I have shivers and usually cry any time I hear Charice sing – little bitty girl with a great big voice and such a heart.
i’m not familiar with Charice but i love her version of this song! thank you for your visit and comment, Sherry! ♥
I love the Tanner painting, having been enchanted recently by blue.
blue is my favorite color and i love the painting, too. thank you for your visit, Richard!
