deepwater...
I found this a little to hard for me to comprehend its full meaning, but that is me, I cannot penalize you because of that. I presume the last two lines sum up the words of the poem? Living life to its fullest and to have lived it in a manner you so pleased....

I'm not sure I totally understood it. Was it suspose to rhyme or was it not supose to rhyme? Is it about living your life in the style you wish?

deepwater:

one reason so many people are on drugs
and alcohol, at least in my humble opinion,
is because they are not comfortablde with
themselves. A life well-lived is certainly
the way to go. Love your tractor picture --
reminds me of growing up on the farm (profile
pci). love, jan

I've given you a 6 star rating because I love this message, I'm now 52 and all I care about is arriving where this poem sent me to. It's what it's all about. You remind me to me true to myself. Thank you, Vicki

This is an inspirational and well structured free verse poem, which reverberates so deeply within. Yes, we need to love ourselves, to be able to live with ourselves, and to be our own best friends.
Thank you for sharing and warmest regards,
Marijke

Well I suppose this was okay. Good message if not terribly poetic. Seemed to read I am who I am and I'm okay with that. I did like this line very much "truly content

to have lived a life that was of my own choice " - sam

Very strong and wise words. Spoke to my soul. I discovered just how wonderful life is once I kicked drama to the curve and wake up to a peace of mind each day. Living my life like it's golden. Great piece. Leigh

Deepwater: This is excellent poetry. I used to think it unfair how novel writing took so long yet poetry filled less than half a page.

I was wrong - this proves it

Thank you so much!

Deepwater, you have composed a deep poem. i too look down at the farthest side of my life, the differeence being that I have a sense of having accomplished nothing at all. perhaps in the next life, if there is one, something good will come.

Your short poem moved smoothly and made fine reading.
The content is very thought provoking.
I liked the way you wrote the last line.
We want to live our life the way we want as per our choice, but we have to follow certain norms imposed by the society, family and other extraneous units.
If we succeed to live our life the way we want, it sure is a great achievement.
