relief
when you realise
life comes from you
no set path but a
building
brick on brick on brick
on brick
stay still, nothing happens
but myself
the only constant
I can move
and no word or look
can tear up such a well-paved road
this
permanence
man-made and sure
I am sure
I am sure
life comes from me
I choose

- Comment from author about the poem: My partner always says “there is always a choice” and I think that’s true. I get to choose how my life goes. I get to choose who I am. I am building my life brick by brick and I am in control. It’s easy to forget that sometimes.

Beautiful poem,a little similar to my recent poem about identity yours resembles more a poem and mine a story but the exact same message.I get exactly what you meant when you structured it from beginning to end with the realisation that you do choose,even if it’s wrong or right, you place your own bricks.Very beautiful!
True it is there is always a choice even if it doesn't seem like a good one. Responsibility for the choice is ours. A lovely write
