STOP THE MERRY GO ROUND I WANT TO GET OFF!

the choices we make

Stop The Merry Go Round I Want To Get Off! 

Why do we make choices

That will "bite" us in the end

And though that does sound funny

No "pun" did I intend

 We get in situations

That make our minds confused

We jump into relationships

Get hurt, sometimes abused

 What may start out as friendship

Seems harmless as can be

You jump right in and get cozy

Find out it's wrong, too late you see

 Things start to get uncomfortable

And all you want is "out"

Arguments and hurtful words

Who cares what it's about

 Then you finally make the choice

End the battle and try once more

And once again in a short time

It's worse than it was before

 So back to all the yelling

Pack your bags and out you go

Looking for that someone else

Who will make your insides glow

 One more time you take a chance

Believing it's the right choice

Ignoring all the warning signs

Especially that "inner" voice

 But back you go on the merry go round

Once more you take a ride

What do you have to lose

Certainly not your pride

 Every time gets easier

Your heart has lost it's feel

No wonder you can't to see

The one in front of you who's real

Oh my goodness this poem took my breath away. It's so easy to get lost with the person you think is right when the person your meant for is standing there waiting for you to wake up and see the truth. Such a great strong write! So full of wisdom and truth. I love it!
