Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Perspective

Whatever I have done 
I might have done worse, and might have done better.
Whatever I have chosen 
I might have chosen worse, and might have chosen better.

Whatever I have tried to say, 
I might have said worse, and might have said better.
Whatever I might be, 
I might have been worse, and might have been better.

But maybe judgement at all isn’t necessary
For better or worse, perhaps everything 
Is always all it can be
Including me.

I think this poem is pretty basic in how it poetically presents the concepts but meditatively it was just how it needed to be.

I quite like how I made use of the words better and worse in a new way in the final verse that I added today, I think it improves the poem a bit and presents a different perspective too but some might think it makes it worse since it has a different rhythm and flow than the other verses.

A very interesting poem which makes one think and certainly not rush to judgement.

Thank you JD. Oddly enough it is both new and old. The first two verses are a couple of years old, but I spruced it up a bit for posting so the final verse was added today.
