Choices, Chances and Changes

Sometimes, I spend time looking for faults

At times, I look for failures along with a few disappointments

Many times I look for something I did wrong – or some mistakes I have made

And most of the time I look for something I hopefully did just right.

Sometimes, I wonder and ask all the maybes I come upon

At times, I ask the should haves and should have beens I can recount

Many times I ask myself the what ifs and what coulds I discover 

And most of the time I ask the whys I can unravel and find the answer.

Sometimes, I imagine scenes that may happen or may not

At times, I imagine a role I could be playing – am I a hero or a villain?

Many times I imagine I have written a play or a script of life

And most of the times I imagine it may become or may never come

Sometimes, I sit still just so I can keep my nagging thoughts linger

At times, I close my eyes so I can see a glimpse of a dream

Many times I wish that at least a prayer will be answered

And most of the times I suppose my hopes may never be the same as yours

Sometimes, my ideas will not be your outlook

At times, my point of view to things will be your different perspective

Many times my approach to life will not be your concept to living

And most of the times,  my vision of an adventure will never be a facet of your quest.

Sometimes, along the way we will have that one moment

At some point in time, we find the same equation although have worked it out in a peculiar way

Many times we compromise and concede to the reality of something

Yet, most of the times we will decide and draw a line of who we are and what makes us who we are and what we have become.
