A Life I Never Knew Poem by Tiger Lily Love

A Life I Never Knew

Rating: 5.0


There is a life I never knew

Where there are answers
To questions I've always asked

Where I no longer have to worry
About future, present, and past

In a life I never knew
I imagined I'd be carefree

But for all I know
That's daydream
Not a reality

So in another world
There is a life I never knew
But I realize now...

That I don't want to.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
For the longest time I wondered who I would be if I didn't choose the life I did, or if people hadn't made the decisions for me they had. But I realized that if I didn't go through the things I have or made the choices I've made that I probably wouldn't be who I am today.

I really like this one. And I especially love the two opening lines, they are conflicting, and show a conradiction......that is what makes it soo captivatinh. Lovely job
