Decision

One second
One tiny decision
My whole life would have been different
If you were there

The tiniest thing
Could make your life entirely different
.Sliding Doors.
If only we could see
What else could have happened
Every decision you make
No matter how small
How big
Is setting the path to your life
Directing you to your future
Which could have been different
If that decision was different
You just have to trust
That every step you took was the right one

One second
One tiny decision
My whole life could have been different
If you were there
But you weren't




Everything Happens For A Reason

Author notes

A friend asked me what I thought would have happened if someone else was there during the start of the year. It got me thinking..

Please tell me what you think

    very good

    "....Sliding Doors....."
    i like the metaphor
    a sort of reality "the price is right" game show
    what's behind door # 2
    but
    it is reality
    and
    it's a big world
    so we never really find out if we had done this, that, went that way, this way, said no instead of yes,
    i'm sort of a destiny, fate guy
    but i love the ending
    "...One second
    One tiny decision
    My whole life could have been different
    If you were there
    But you weren't...."
    why not blame him?
    screw responsibility
    you are a princess, it's your right

    I really enjoyed this piece, though I am partial to freeverse, which helps a lot. This piece is very thought-provoking. Good job!
