You Can

You can be born a male But that is no guarantee that you will be a man Or a female maybe your gender Maybe never a lady, but still is a female Some will even try to alter God's plan Who knows what they will come out in the blender You can walk the straight and narrow line Or you can flip flop and go on the wild side We all have to go some where Some will mess up and some will do just fine It is your ticket and it is your ride Some will just be winging it on a prayer You can be independent or dependent Some want to control and others are in control Some get lost of the way Some are wild and some are obedient Those that the Devil ends up with their soul When they become his prey You can be about anything that you want to be A fish out of water and swim up stream Take the rocky road or the easy street Travel the world and see all you can see Have a nightmare or a sweet dream In the end all depends on who you want to meet

Danny, what a well thought out poem! So many choices are laid out in front of us when our life begins, and they continue, throughout life. We can only hope not to be left behind. Great write. Cheers, RW

its amazing how many choices we have in life. but at one point in time, we have to hold them higher than anything else. if they want it bad enough. no one wants to get left behind. it's nice to see a poem from you. take care. -Always&Forever Lynette

We have so many choices in life, Danny, and each one helps form our character. Very deep writing and I like the ABC rhyme scheme. This could be a whole new form of poetry. Love, Carolyn
