Chance Or Choice? Poem by CeCe Lamberts
Chance Or Choice?
Life is about chance
Life is about choice
What if I’m your chance
But you’re not my choice?
Things in life happen either by chance or by choice
When life’s chance
Brings you before a choice
Don’t take a chance
Listen to your inner voice
You’re my choice
My only choice
I go around in circles
And you’re still my choice
Met you by chance
And you were my choice
I was your chance
But why not your choice?
I make one step ahead
And two steps behind
Thought I was over you
But you’re still on my mind
(April 18,2007/Inspired by what my good friend Aashish Ameya had to say about life)
Lovely :) such a powerful theme! One all humans can relate to... that, in my opinion, is what makes truly great poetry.
What a thoughtful linguistic invention! The two words, 'Chance' and 'Choice' have equal number of letters, sounds and one syllable each. You met me by chance but don't make me your choice-Around this idea, you have built this poem. Beautiful.
I loved this one. Despite having opportunities by chance, it's by choice we take advantage of them.
To Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi: I think there is something wrong with the poem too. I believe it is that the rhythm and choice of words are confusing. No Offense Cece Lamberts....0_0
