'i Sat There'- Reversible Poem

I sat there
Wondering 
What was right
Thinking 
What was wrong
Pondering
Its worth
Speculating about 
Whether I should do it
Contemplating 
"Is it worth it all?"
I asked myself 
Although knowing the answer.
Said everyone loudly around me
" It's your call to make "
Though they silently said
"Do it"
I had never thought
"It would end like this"
 The mind had said 
"It's your only choice" 
Had said the heart
"Please don't do it" 
Have regrets,  I don't care
Yes I shall
Pull the plug
I did not 
Wait
I did not sit there 
To see the ramification of my action.

When read upside down :
To see the ramifications of my action
I did not sit there 
Wait 
I did not
Pull the plug
Yes I shall
And so on....

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.
