Alternative Life

New day, new choices,
I pick one, let all the others go.
A new unfamiliar track,
At the end of the tunnel; a mild glow.


Try not to think of all the alternate lives,
Which I might have lived.
Had I chosen a different track,
A different person than Him.


Sometimes I live several parallel lives,
In so many times, time zones.
Simultaneously living,
The present, the possible and the bygones.
