Ponder This: Decisions

Another tick from my words on life...

Life is a joke that just hasn?t stopped laughing

You cry when you?re born and laugh when you die

Isn?t it funny that you never got to do the many things that you always wanted

You never got to be the person you wanted to be

You never go to have the things you wanted to have

Sometimes we feel alone when we?re in a crowded room

Then one day you wake up and think about how life could have been

How life should have been

How life would have been

Had you just made the right decisions and things would have been so different

You return to places of forgotten memories or forgotten people

Or memories that you wish you could forget

Memories that you wish would stay locked away in the back of your mind

The land of ghosts that haunt you every time you return

You walk down paths and the ghosts return

Haunting your spirit as they had done so long ago

Drawing you back to places you do not want to be

Sometimes life can be a personal hell as you struggle to find your stairway to heaven

No one can point you in the right direction

You have to choose that road yourself

You try to laugh at the people around you

Knowing that they too are trapped in their own consequences

Consequences, unavoidable no matter what you do

You make every decision with some sort of recourse

But you never know what it will be until it happens

Then you look back and want to change your mind

But you can?t, you can never change your mind

For changing your mind is really just making a new decision with new consequences

Will it be good or bad

Will you hurt someone along the way

We all hurt someone along the way

It is the only way to achieve peace with ourselves

But it?s the level of hurt that makes that achievement harder

Because you then have to live the rest of your life knowing you hurt someone else

If we cannot come to terms with these types of consequences then how will we ever come to terms with ourselves

You cannot love another unless you love yourself

You cannot live with another unless you can live with yourself

You cannot be with another unless you can be yourself

It all comes down to ourselves

You are the only one that can make up your own mind

You are the good, you are the bad, you are everything in-between

But until you can figure that out, you?re just another lost soul trying to make its way through an empty life
