CONVERSATIONS WITH MYSELF

By Aisha Bell

 

I’m trying to understand.

Yes

I’m trying to understand.

Yes

Why?

 

Why is this life

the life I chose?

I mean,

I’ve been trying to understand

Why life must demand

so much of me?

and sometimes I believe,

believe that

I am the reason why

my life has established my existence as such

Such a multitude of experiences

waiting to happen

and then be understood

Yes

Understood

 

Understand

why I demand so much of my life

Life in general

Why this life is the life

I chose and this is the life

I live

and if I choose to change my choice

then that I must do

For I choose the life I live

 

Understand?
