I absolutely LOVE this poem! It's amazing that we learn to blame the people that put us in situations, but they never put us there to begin with. WE had the choice to do what we want, but we listen to others instead of ourselves. People will look at the surface of this and say it only pertains to marriage; that's not true. It's all the aspects of our lives that are driven by outside opinions.

Wonderful! Thanks for making people think. Sadly, the people who need this the most ususally aren't part of poetry communities.
