Inside we all are same
Flesh, bones, and blood.
What makes us different
Is our thinking.
Our thoughts
Our heart and mind.
Our decisions
Of what is
Wrong and Right.
He acted in a certain way
Which can be justified
On the grounds of
Millions of excuses.
Bounded, no choices
Stress or helpless
Or The dilemma
Love or lust or
Heat of the moment.
He opened the
Window within.
And accepted.
Stood Strong.
And Moved on.
Peacefully.
Outside the window
Of societal cage
He sees himself
As a free soul.

A liberating feeling of opening the mind, accepting the flow of new ideas. What prompts a person to take certain decisions, actions, one can never tell. Lovely take on the prompt!

Be it life or choices we make are nothing but a perspective. No one can judge us for that. Not even ourself. We should be strong enough to take responsibility for our actions and move on. That is the beauty of leading a life free is shackles. And, you conveyed it beautifully in this poem.

Loved the thought that it’s our choices that make us different from each other. I love the bit where you say sometimes one has no choice but to act a certain way. That’s so true.

You got my point. Isn’t that something which happens to most of us most of the times. We have no choice but to choose the other side of what we want.

We are our thoughts. Beautiful. Sometimes we need to act based on the circumstances and accept the outcome, make peace with it. And all that comes with being in sync with our thoughts. Loved your take.

This resonated with me. I tend to be sometimes ridden with guilt about bad choices in the past. Your poem urges me not to be so.

I am happy you can relate. At times bad choices are not our choices but the call of the situation. One should not feel guilty in that case.
