    Poem Commentary

    I think this is a universal question we all wrestle with at some point in our lives.  What's important is whether or not we act on the feelings.

    Decisions
    Decisions

    I cannot decide if living is life
    It all could be over, a cut of a knife
    Some days full of pain, despair, agony
    Cause me to wonder, "do I want to be me?"

    Is my life worth living or is it just pain?
    Am I so abnormal with death on my brain?
    I cannot decide. "they" say I should hope
    I smile and pretend, it's my way to cope

    So much has gone wrong in this life of mine
    I don't mean to whimper, complain or to whine
    But I think there's more to living than life
    Can happiness come, replacing this strife?

    So pills are prescribed by doctors I've met
    Everyone has the "solution," and yet
    I wake up each day with questions...with doubt
    Is this life worth living, or do I want out?

    May be a universal understanding amongst us all. Written about in so many ways, so many times. Thx, as always, for your comments!

    In and out most of us go, up and down, side to side - life is not easy but in the beginning and in the end we must be thankful for what we have - there is always something down inside that can help us find a ray of sunlight in the dark pouring rain. Well expressed! Live STRONG and write write write - what a wonderful release that allows us to live in other universes and to see many views.... we have the power to create!!!

    Your words pretty much TRUMPED mine! :) Thank you for the comment..and for the amazing encouragement!

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
