The Only Choice Poem by Atef Ayadi

You have no other choices
Right
Or left,
But to face me.
No regrets,
No hard feelings
No guilt,
No they,
No he,
No she,
No plea,
Will help you
But me.

You face it
Whether
Standing up
Laying down
Or sitting on your knees
You will have it all,
You will have me.

You flee,
To the sky,
To the mountains,
To the desert,
To the sea,
You still remember
Me.

You may think
You will be free,
And
That is the cure,
That is the key.
So run
Fast,
Slow,
Run as much as you can,
Nothing will stop you,
No one will catch you,
Except,
The shadow
Of you
And me.
