Oasis, Oblivion, Odyssey Words Poetry Contest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ahhh… what choice do I have?
Oblivion… so overrated, as so many poets
use this word for centuries…..
Oasis… nice feel to it, but life is not an oasis.
Odyssey then… for life is an odyssey.
Life is a long wandering, a long journey.
As for me, my life is a series of experiences
that gave me knowledge, understanding,
not only of human emotions, behaviors.
It opened me to perceive and discern why
people act the way they do because of their
cultures, family dynamics and characteristics.
My own odyssey gave me the strength to
know me, my strengths and imperfections.
It gave me courage to overcome adversities
and learn from them; accept my failures and
be accountable; use my strength to work on
weaknesses and imperfections; embrace me
and be comfortable in my own skin and most
of all be thankful, be content and be whole.
