EvaluationA Poem by R.D.ScottJust more random thought that was written down.Lately I have started looking back over my time so far and I came to a realisation. I pored over what people expected of me, what people wanted me to have and what people hoped I would be. I remembered what I was expected to achieve and what I didnt. Ok, so I dont have my own home or a car that looks more like a fashion statement. I may not travel the world, or have a credit card. I have made a ton of mistakes,some were horrid and almost unforgivable. I have met the wrong sort of people and I have met the right sort of people. I have met the rarest of people who can alter your life and help mould you into the person you always knew you could be. I never performed at school but you know what, it doesnt matter. How many people go all out for an education and then never use it, I know two people who worked for it all and ended up doing the same job as everyone else. So people can judge me all they like, and waffle on about unfilled potential. But the truth of it is, Only I know my true potential and what I am most capable of.
I didnt follow the path set for me by other people. I didnt wander down the path that people hoped I would take. I took my own. I have lived a life that I wanted, that I chose. So I can look back and say, so far I have lived and I will continue to do so. So watch on and judge as you like but im doing it my way, wrong or rightly. But have you lived as much as me? © 2009 R.D.ScottReviews
