HANDFUL OF CHOICES Death in one hand--Life in the other Wish I knew someone who could show me the way to STOP the PAIN that chips away my heart and soul. What is right?--What is wrong? CONFUSION-- EMPTINESS Echo in my mind sound decisions pass me by -- clues left lying around for all to see. I scream for help. I can cry out loud. But why? What will it do for the pain inside? This small problem to you is overwhelming my mind! I wish I could suck it up inside but I am not you and the pain will not subside. The choice rest in my hands--Right choice is a portable phone--The left is a .38 Loaded and cocked. - - - - RING - RING - UH, Hello? This was written after hearing a 17 year old state how he had no choices left in his life because his girlfriend got pregnant. To young people all problems seem too large to solve. |

This is a sad poem. But I liked it. Cold hands means a warm heart |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Thomas, it is so very tragic, sweet friend, it seems because we are growing ever so much during this time and the world sees to get crowded to move around in and sometimes it could be so suffocating you lose hope! (big hugggssssss) My heart cries out to her family and all other young adults who cope with these obstacles, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Thomas, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Life is all about choices and what we learn from them. Even simply comtemplating the wrong choices but not taking them to fruition will make us stronger. Just some thoughts stirred from your poem. Thanks for sharing. *s When you think you have heard it all, |

Thomas, you are right, when you are young the small things seem so big. A nice write. |
