I Chose

by Bradley Peter   Dec 31, 2007


I chose to be gutless, hopeless, faceless
To be cheerless, fearless, aimless
I chose to be soulless, joyless, graceless
To be lifeless, heartless, nameless

I chose to choose darkness over light
Scarred by actions, marred by hope
I lost the strength in me to fight
And with it I lost the will to cope

I chose solitude over family and friends
I chose a life not worth living
I chose to forget fashion and trends
And the world, so unforgiving

I chose choices I didn't make
I made mistakes I now must keep
They're there when I awake
And they haunt me in my sleep

I chose to be coreless, loveless, hateless
To be homeless, raceless, spineless
I chose to be goalless, sexless, fateless
To be careless, worthless, shineless

I chose to be me

    Very indepth piece you've penned here. I like how you keep the structure of the first stanza and last stanza very similar with the three descriptive words in each line. The inbetween stanzas were well put too. And ending it with 'I chose to be me' was well done too...because it's like saying, good or bad, that's me and I'm the one that has to live with it. Not that we don't regret mistakes, but we also can't change them. Anyways, this was very well put. Good job!

    A very interesting piece with some powerful statements about yourself. It seems like it's full of self-reflection. I liked it as a whole.

    I chose choices I didn't make

    That line didn't make much sense to me, but the rest of it was good!
