A reading of a poem I wrote:
Choose Well
I started out my journey
A destination clear in mind
Adventure, success and excitement
Was what I was sure to find
My travels took me far and wide
The progress though sometimes slow
And the longer it took to move ahead
The larger my baggage would grow
With every challenge and obstacle
The harder I would struggle and strive
I came to expect the hardships
And my expectation diminished my drive
I then found myself at an impasse
Unable to move ahead
But it wasn't the path that blocked my way
It was my baggage that had stopped me dead
The road ahead was unobstructed
It was my beliefs that held me back
If I would only drop my baggage
I would find myself on track
I had to make a decision
How would I live my life?
As an easy going experience
Or one full of pain and strife?
So I repacked my belongings
And left behind what I didn't have to take
The choice was rather simple
Once I understood it was mine to make
I now move ahead unencumbered
It's not necessary to travel through Hell
For life is simply a choice my friend
Just let go and choose well
I truly feel this. This is how my life led me to where I am now.
