A well written free verse poem. I wish you well in the contest! The only thing is the last line says "to have lived a life that was of my own choice." The contest is about a life they ALMOST lived, so there is some confusion on my part there, but it is still a nice poem.

Comment from Espresso momma
I think the reason I liked this so well, is that we so often tend to complain our lives would be better if it weren't for 'someone' else. They don't want to take the way as to say it was 'their way' or as Mr Sinatra said, 'I did it my way'..Thank you..

Comment from Tawnyowl
This is an uplifting poem. It is so important to find self-fulfilment in life and you can only do that for yourself, no one else can do it for you. The poem has a nice choice of words and seems heartfelt. It has a very good philosophy behind it all. Good luck in the contest!

This poem speaks so well of contentment and a self-acceptance.
"And to be able to say, I am my best friend" is a purpose we
all should try to fulfill. Very Nicely Done!
Regards, Todd

Very well written and well said. I feel that that is what a good life is about. To be able to look back and know it was what it was meant to be. Good job.

Mystery Poet, very well written. Good style, good rhythm. I'm not sure you answered what the challenge was, but the story painted was good as it stood. Good luck in the contest.

I enjoyed reading your poem, A Life That Was My Own Choice. It was very cleverly written and very well thought out. It is true, you do have to love yourself in order to love someone else. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from shirley31
i love this and you have been so honest its also very deep and thought provoking
you gave me goosebumps good luck in the competition!
Only to survive to see another moonlit night alone,
Then will you be at peace with yourself
And to be able to say, I am my best friend,
As I look down the farthest side of my life with age,
Fulfilled and understanding in all, and truly content
to have lived a life that was of my own choice
loved these lines inspiring and very poetic!
