What if...


Everyday when I wake up I think about the choices I will make ahead.

By turning on my light will I make someone else uncomfortable.

I work a job that could have belonged to someone else.

I see news about children that could have lived.

I walk down the street and I see someone who could have been better off.

I see myself in a mirror instead of anyone who could have been there.

Staticians say there are a range of nearly infinite choices in nearly every event. 

And that the odds of a single event occuring is so unlikely it is classified as impossible. 

Yet I stand here when it is nearly impossible for me to stand right where I am.

You there reading what would be almost impossible to find randomly.

Everyday I smile and I say it is impossible for me to stand here so let me see what else is possible.

I am a teen living out a west with words on my mind and hope in my heart. I love zombies and I hope to someday be a writer worthy of the name Poe.

<p>Your poetry is beautiful, you know that? You manage to make words and phrases both inspirational and heart breaking simultaneously. It's so interesting to think about how any one event in your life was so unlikely it was impossible, and that any of the events in a life were the same, it inspires people to take control of their lives.&nbsp;</p>
