Only Choice

There is a big, heavy wall tied behind your back;
There is only one road,
You start walking, the wall drags along

You stop, the wall stops behind your back
You turn around, 
But you only bump yourself against the wall

Stop and stay,
Or go till beyond,
This is your only choice

Keep going you will get tired as you go,
Bearing the wall behind your back

But stay still,
What more can you do

You can't go back
You can go forward
Or You can stay

This is your only choice,
In Life

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.
