I Decided

  • Thinking about writing something new cause it's been a while.

I Decided

I decided I was selfish
And needed to cast aside
My expectations and desires
And focus on the person

I realized that I was looking
At the world through an eye
So myopic
All I could see
Was my own hand
In front of my face

A hand
Full of my own agendas
And my own desires
A hand full of me
And my problems

I decided to reach out
With that hand
And touch someone
But to do that
I had to drop what was in my hand
And fill that hand with love
And wisdom
And forgiveness

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
