Life In 14 Lines - 3

My life obeys the power of suggestion:

The way I feel is why I fall or fly.

I’m here to think about and ask the question

And trust the world will give me a reply.

I learn the consequence of my decisions

Each time I wonder why or wonder at,

And suffer through the day-to-day collisions

When what I want and what I get go splat.

All I can do is tell you how I feel—

I cannot make you answer that you care—

And then embrace denial or the real

Each time the world fills in my questionnaire.

I may not get the ones I want to hear

But they will all be answers, loud and clear.
