Command Your Life

Command Your Life 

The room is onyx, quiet, still
I lay in my bed, trying to forget
Thoughts rush through my head
The harsh sounds of the words

Stand up and seize the day
Realize you have a choice
To let negativity overrun you
Or grab life by the horns
Find your way

      The ‘horns’ are the key word, it is not easy, always, to hold firmly a steering wheel firmly but I like the word ‘choice’ for life IS made of choices.
      I like your poem Tracy. :))
