Balance

I had a choice,
To dwell in the past or dream of the future,
I stayed in the present, pain or pleasure.

I had a choice,
To show my anger or slip into suffering ,
I remained calm, for truth and meaning.

I had a choice,
To pursue with passion or dismiss in dislike,
Detached, I was, resonance or difference.

I had a choice,
To adore the glory or embrace ignominy,
I stayed intact, in fortune and misery,

I had a choice,
To impose my will or submit to fate,
Harder, I worked, and welcomed the result,

I had a choice,
To demand from life or enjoy it's gifts,
I tried my best, to maintain a balance.

And now I wonder,
If I did make a choice, one or the other,
would life have been worse or would've been better ?
There rings a bell, in my mind's corner,
It doesn't matter if it's one end or another,
all this flutter is to settle in the center !
