You have a choice

Wow, this is a raw and honest piece! I love the defiance you have, the fighting spirit! Beautifully done with a lovely message.

This fight! This fight this poem describes. I love the way you've put this together - amazing X

Thank you all so kindly for your comments

This is such an honest and raw write, and really puts life and all its challenges and changes into perspective.

"I have a choice.
Will I let this defeat me or for once
enjoy what is most precious and that is life."

These last few lines are extremely powerful!

Well done!

Dagmar, how wonderful to see a poem from you! I have missed your writings. I liked this a lot. It's a personal write, you don't mince words and that has always been a trademark of yours. I know there is always things that have happened in our lives that we continue to beat ourselves up over, past regrets will either bury us or strengthen us. You are a survivor Dagmar, no matter what has been thrown at you. Well done-hugs!
