Other Lives

~~~~~

Shadows of the Past ~ Philip Brent Harris

~~~~~

Despite how sweet our memories,
do we choose to let them define us?
Make us this, not that. We wonder
how we came where we are. Failing
to comprehend, we chose our road.
over another. From such choices, all
our future choices flow. Where and
how we find the difference between
acceptance and rancor, love and hate.
While we may know love in solitude,
for are we not all, truly alone within
our cells, within our skins. Choices
always define. What if we’d headed
in instead of turned away? Followed
feelings, waited, when we knew no
logical reason to do so? What if we
had said no, not yes? How different
our lives could be. Though the roads
we didn’t take might have been taken
by another version of us. Would we,
if we could, choose any other lives?
