DECISIONS
They split the               path before me
Daring me to     venture           either way
Neither wrong                                Neither right
But the choice                                           changes life
forever.

Do you jump off the cliff's edge,
Faith as your guidance, only to 
Break across the jagged rocks?
Or do you take the HIGH road,
Ignoring the cliff's call, only to
Regret not exploring those uncharted waters? 

It's just another game of 
Russian Roulette
We hope to God that Lady Luck's 
On our side,
Though we still wish to feel
The bullet's s t i n g

Ups 
and 
Downs
Lefts   and   Rights
We experience them all;
All at Chance's 
w h i m 
Controlled like a puppet
On crooked strings
Fueled by the desire 
to succeed

d e c i s i o n s 
 They split the               path before me
Daring me to     venture           either way
The risk is HIGH,                       my luck is LOW
I'll take the plunge                            and change my life
forever.

This is a very unique style of displaying your talent for writing literature like this. Personally, I like to write poetry in a more traditional format and am exploring different options, and I believe that your form of writing poetry is very unique.

I like how you put emphasis on certain words to carry your message over for the other readers to understand.

One of the other points I liked in your poem was the fact that you brought back the first stanza albeit with a different line, yet the impact was there.

I encourage you to explore your options more, because upon reading this, I could see the potential for you. Keep up the good work <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
