Understand

The opportunity came suddenly

Yet looking back I know it was always there

It grabbed me by the neck and held a gun to my head

Even if I had wanted to

I couldn't choose differently

I turned around and embraced it

Though to others it looked like I was fighting

They kept saying to accept it for what it was

They wouldn't beleive I already had

They would say, let's talk

They seemed to only think I was angry

Whenever I would assure them I was excited

They would shake their head

Almost like they needed me to be miserable

Why couldn't they believe I could be happy

Is it because they didn't realize

That to me this was a wide open door

Marked by an exit sign

This is my scenario with movinga few states away. Tell me what you think, constructive critcism is welcome.

"it grabbed me by the neck and held a gun to my head"

i take it you weren't all that enthusiastic about moving.

Fantasic write.

[SOUL LESS]

They kept saying to accept it for what it was...improve this line. The thought is fine, but your poems lack force. They fall limp in some places.
It doesn't sound like moving a few states...if you get my meaning:P
