Choices of when and where

sorenbarrett

Driving down a one way road
No directions given to deliver your load
Without signs on buildings or street
No time given when we are to meet
If not delivered in a timely fashion
People will starve without a food ration

            Great write. If you could just tell me where to go exactly, it would save me some brainpower wouldn't it?

            • sorenbarrett

              It is the lack of specificity in instructions that leads to anxiety and confusion. Thanks so much for the read and comment it is deeply appreciated

              To me, this is life. We are on one path, we don't know where we are going and no one gives us directions. We are on our own to figure out the destination and it's important we get there in a timely manner.

                Gritty and urgent—pressure building with no clear way out.
                The tension rides hard, duty pushing forward against the unknown.

                  You painted, the pressures of making choices and fulfilling responsibilities, with a sense of uncertainty. nicely done Soren

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      Great title for this poem. Soren…that lack of direction…no signs, no timing…that’s what really drives this. It keeps everything unsettled in a way that lands. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                        Sounds like a tough job. Easy to get lost I suppose.

                        • Ellen Marsell

                          The one-way road is a symbol of time and fate. It permits no return, offers no alternatives, and leaves no room to stop. Powerful writing!

                          • sorenbarrett

                            You are very perceptive Ellen so right you are thank you for your read and interpretation it is most valued
