The Choices We Didn't Make Poem by Yonah Jeong

The Choices We Didn't Make

The Choices We Didn't Make
When we fail
When we face hardship
When we encounter misfortune

The choices we didn't make come to light

I record these turning points

The choices we make shape the future, but
the choices we didn't make
give meaning to life

Because that is what life is

These choices go unnoticed and are ignored

Between the judgment of a choice and the choice of a judgment
an opportunity is presented

Love creates choices and sells them

They are not reality but imagination

There are no realities in imagination
There is imagination in realiies
That is where is a choice lives
They are the realities that were not chosen.
