I wonder
why do I sometimes feel
so all alone
even in the midst of so many?

I wonder
how different my life would be
if I had made wiser and sounder choices
in my more uncomplicated days?
(Would I recognize me- or for once,
feel more at home with myself)?

I wonder
why do I have such a difficult time
in making decisions which some
seem to do so effortlessly?

I wonder where my life would take me
if I treated it like a taxi ride
instead of taking control
grabbing on to Life's steering wheel
with both hands?

I wonder
if I should step back and look at me
through another's eyes
would I think as much of me
as I presently do?

I wonder
how much would I appreciate
the circumstances of my present life
if suddenly I were thrust into
the scenario of another's joys and cares?

I wonder
if such musings do any good
or do they just further serve
to fan the flames of my seemingly
endless state of discontentment?

I wonder
am I the only one who feels this way
or is this the common experience of all
yet each in their own unique and solitary way?

Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder!

Lots to wonder and ponder.. "If" could be more complicated than explaining "Is." Acceptance of "Is" in God's will, is where true happiness is found. Thought provoking poem.

It is good to wonder and it is good that you recognize that everyone wonders one time or another. It is the situation that we are in that makes us feel sad, happy, angry, scared...and so on. Keep on wondering and I shall keep on reading.

David; this is beautiful free verse! Songbird has the answer. I felt this way always until I got tired of it, sort of "sick and tired of being sick and tired".
That was when I gave up control and gave ALL the control to God...Peace at last! Love,Ellie

David~
I couldn't help but think of 'cruise control' ...

'I wonder where my life would take me
if I treated it like a taxi ride
instead of taking control
grabbing on to Life's steering wheel
with both hands?'

I think anything would be better than putting my life in the hands of a taxi driver !

'I wonder
why do I have such a difficult time
in making decisions which some
seem to do so effortlessly?'

Well, I don't know about you ...
but I blame mine on being a Libra !

Enjoyable musings, my friend.
