It wasn't at all
what I had imagined
preconceived or unprecedented
Proceeding through life
as though it was a given
anticipating a magnitude
beyond my wildest dreams
When falling from the clouds
so high...
not as soft as a pillow implies...
life hit me hard
and sent me spinning
Clearly, it was up to me
whether I sat there and cried
or gave it another try
For reality was not waiting for me.
indeed, it is up to you
ReplyDeletewhat you want in life
either you move forward
or take a step back
whatever it may be
i hope you come to see
that life is worth a try
more than once if it needs be...
Thank you Salitype. This poem wasn't written about myself. However; from vast years of experience, brought me to share. I loved that you came by. Please visit again.
