CHOICES
if i can’t do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don’t want
to do
it’s not the same thing
but it’s the best i can
do
if i can’t have
what i want … then
my job is to want
what i’ve got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want
since i can’t go
where i need
to go … then i must … go
where the signs point
through always understanding
parallel movement
isn’t lateral
when i can’t express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal
i know
but that’s why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry
Remember "A poem of Friendship"? Same author - hope you like this one too ;)
Read your last poem again, still thinking the same I told you when I first read it : Beautifully sad, bittersweet...but also full of hope. I loved it <3
