It was never a choice
with each lie
each indiscretion
each breach of trust
boundaries crossed
selfish needs

planted, seeded fears
lines blurred by tears
confirmed by years
with pain that sears

Life lessons pile up,
the end result
is that you never
truly mattered

It was never a choice
to be deemed blind

Was it ever a choice?

About the Author

Canadian born, Brenda-Lee Ranta resides in her home-town of Timmins, Ontario. She has been a poet, writing for 54 years; her first poem crafted at the age of seven. Brenda-Lee shares her love of words with her soul-mate, Hugh Dysart, who is also a poet-lyricist-musician.

On the cusp of her retirement, she will be found writing, painting, singing or creating something from the stirrings of her heart.  She claims this is who she ‘wanted to be when she grew up.’
