Choices Poem by John A'Hern

Choices



What is a thought?
Discussed many times before,
Thoughts trigger actions or dreams,
Brave or careful the choices are ours it seems.

Parents always drift past in these scenes
"Did you think, before you did that"
No, answered, would not make sense,
Answer yes, punishment still pursues.

Interruption of thoughts changed the scene
Thought can sometimes be seen.
Body language not what it seems to be,
Eyes can lead one to the truth.

Thoughts, being used against you?
Judgement because of an opinion,
A view that you are not trustworthy,
Feelings hurt because of beliefs.

Wise one's have said it all before
Listen to advice before you go.
Thinking too quickly can lead to grief,
Leave this circle of so called friends.

Are your thoughts leading to this?
Or is it just another thought in your head?
Judgement made, just walk away,
Mixed emotions, the substance of the day.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The thoughts spoken of came about when asked, what are you thinking about by a friend. My thoughts before answering were about as jumbled as some of my poems words. The Parent thing came whizzing past, the same question every time you did something they considered as wrong. All so funny to me now, the answer got you into trouble always.
