Outstanding entry, author. Wow! You nailed the essence of second-guessing one's life to the tee. I especially liked these lines:
"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"
Good write. Bob

You have good imagery and a good flow with your poem-you write a compelling story about your life in your poem and feel that you have made the right choice--I like where you write(to have lived a life that was of my own choice) well said and a great job.

An interesting composition that looks back on the life of the author and recognizes the mistakes made during life's journey that has caused anger, tears, and pain. But through it all he has found peace and contentment with the knowledge he lived the life of his own choice.

May we each be true to ourselves. It is hard. Live distracts us; well meaning people sometimes interfere with the path that lets one do as they want with their lives. There are the restrictions we also put on ourselves. Your poem is food for thought poet. No suggestions.

The prompt is...the life you almost lived. This poem seems to be the life you DID live. I am glad that you have no regrets, but you seemed to have missed the point.

Your Personalized Review:
May I say that I personally present to you a review, updated and not seen nowhere else but here on Fanstory. I believe as little or more that we read, there is so much that we can see, beyond what teaching presents. The heart of a poem has many emotions.
I make this personal and heartouched.
This evaluation (TSPoet PERSONAL OPINION SCALE) is a fun way to not only basic disciplines of styles but an added menu of the meanings of your words, emotions, images etc..My friend, we are here for ratings also, that is not the main reason. I know I am heard here and of course you also. Now let us share, make it fair and show we care. So, thank you for your writings and your deepness within your characters. Your poems and story's have nourished my soul, gave me knowledge, touched my life, left your embellishible scars and fleeting joys.
So thank you writers for pathing your wooded inlands of impeccable imaginations.
I am honored to read your work
Thank You

There are pattern's you imbeciles.

Why Give FanStory a bad name. BE FAIR with each other.

My critiquing mostly is heart sounds I hear from words connecting with beats, saying the beats that I feel through my heart creates rhythms, beats, what poetry is. People are more then welcome to read my poetic words of sound of the heart in my poems. The heart has a beat as it is known that poetry has rhythm.

Comment from Bayberry
Your posting provides an opportunity to look back and evaluate. Of course I wouldn't want to make the same mistakes again, although I understand and value the lessons learned from them. Seems like wisdom should be a genetic factor that can be handed down to future generations. Alas, we all have to make our own mistakes...except for those rare individuals who actually do listen, learn and apply. Somehow, I must have missed that part of my training. LOL
Enjoyed this entry very much. Best wishes for the contest, Josie

Your poem is a refreshing read because you lived your life of your choice, not someone else's. You followed your dreams and didn't allow someone else to steal them. Bravo!

Hi The author
With respect your poem explains why you feel have ended up feeling, being who you are but then it fails to express/explain why?
For example you say:
To experience lust, love, anger, tears and pain
Only to survive to see another moonlit night alone,
Then will you be at peace with yourself
I would loved you to have written about the above; such emotional experiences. Love, her wayward sister lust. The anger, which lead to tears and pain. I wanted you to tell me why you felt this way?
Why only to survive. To me they are the emotion that
Anyway, my soap box solace.

It is good or rather, great to see someone so content and happy with their decisions in life. This was exciting and well worth the read.
