Choice

It wasn't my choice.

I took every second with praise.

I stood strong in my place,

while shattered glass flew my way.

My emotions, scratched. 

Everything a horrific hurricane. 

Sucking my soul into,

it's disastrous whirlwind.

It wasn't my choice.

I played it fate's way.

Leaving no marks behind,

freedom drained.

It took me eras,

a couple of lifetimes.

Our chances like lightning,

one strike, two strikes, game over.

It wasn't my choice.

I'll be thinking of you tonight,

of destiny that pulled us together,

and fate that tore our hearts apart.

It wasn't my choice..

Author's Note

I'm sorry everyone that I've been dead to this world for a while. Not responding to anything. Sorry I couldn't offer much for the past weeks, but I'll be trying more.
Thanks for reading this poem, you guys are the best. :)

Twinkle, you did an amazing job with this one. While shattered glass flew my way it became a disastrous whirlwind. My freedom was drained and before I knew it, we were over. Destiny, fate............who knows? Sometimes it seems we have no choice.

I enjoyed how you ended this. It's like the speaker is really saying 'I'm sorry', or something like that. I love all your poems. You're a gifted writer.

Seems to be a desperate attempt to get out your emotions to prove not only to others, but to yourself.
