The Choice
Poem by: Amara Selraei
Should I forsake my friend?
My heart shall not rend,
Yet my life will end.
I know not...
I know not...
Should my friend die?
I will ever cry,
Yet dead I won't lie.
I know not...
I know not...
A choice I must make,
A path I will take,
Who shall I forsake?
I know not...
I know not...

Thank you so much! I wanted to write a poem that was not so long that it would bore the readers but would still have a strong emotional impact.
A very strong poem, Amara. Choices so many had to make in the past, and no doubt still do! The repetition you use really accentuates the impossibility of making that decision.

Thank you so much! I have always wondered what people may have had to experience when they had to choose between their own lives and the lives of their friends.
