Elyas Ali Poet Blank verse

I Choose My Life

I chose my life, I chose my life 
the way it is; the way it's supposed to be  
I rebuffed for every sanity unto me     
yet you assert to lessen all my fret.     

I confront plights every moment
 though I had a valor in me to conquer
and triumph whenever  on my way
through the tutelage
 I have gotten  the institution.

I chose it  from the sphere
 from myriad choices 
it is my brain which is
 my final discernment
I chose my life I chose my life 
the way it is way supposed to be

Beata Agustin March 13, 2026 at 6:52 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
