    Poem Commentary

    Why would anyone need someone else to tell them that they are right or wrong?

    Right?

     How can I be so sure that I am wrong when I may be right?

    Wait a minute while I try again to understand my plight.

    If they say it's ok, does that make it right?

    The fact that I, with a sigh, had a chance but I let it get by,

    Like it wasn't mine and still I can only wonder about my blunder.

    To listen to them doesn't make me right in the light of day I must say.

    I am right for me, not thee, so wait and see, when I turn out the light 

    Confusion is not the illusion I chose to represent me.

    Comes from me for all to see I will not let them represent me.

    Up all night, no relief in sight, can it all really be in my head, this dread?

    Sleep is near, give up the fear and accept it will be me they see.

    There is nothing wrong with believing in yourself when you can still take in that around you to make your choices.

    When you depend on someone else to decide what is right or wrong you give up that one chance in your life to make a mark that is yours and yours alone.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
