Haunted Poem by Josiah Kalala

I am not haunted by decisions
I adapt, learn to live and live
I am haunted by indecision
I lay awake mulling the million possibilities that could have been
I am not haunted by what I control
I can switch on and off, decide to wake up or sleep through it all
I am haunted by ‘out of control'
Accident, surprise, out of my comfort zone…learning again all over again
I am not haunted by strangers
Passing visions, passing experiences passing lessons
I am haunted by permanence
Living without the essence of being
I am not haunted by me
Limits tested, breaking point established, likes and dislikes known
I am haunted by you
Unknown, untested and out of control
