This was not the life I chose,
When it grabbed my hand and said, “Run”

 

This was not the life I chose,
But it told me to come, inconvenient or not

 

This was not the life I chose,
Even though I yelled “I volunteer”

 

This was not the life I chose,
But I still hate the word, “goodbye”

 

This was not the life I chose,
But it’s the one I woke up to

 

This was not the life we chose
It’s not the one we would have picked
But because they are the ones we were given…

 

I sang a song so beautiful, it saved the human race
I ran after a taxi, and did not need my cane
I started a war, and freed an entire country
I lost my mind, but finally found a family
And even though what I know is gone, I have a new band of brothers
Who help me honor, serve, and protect

 

We all found what we needed; we got the life we wanted
Thank you Doctor, and you’re many faces
Thank you Sherlock, with you’re strange perception
Thank you Primrose, I miss you every day
Thank you Reds and Blues, I’m just not there right now
And thank you Avengers, for giving me a place

This was a short piece that I wrote about the many shows, books, movies, and even comics that have helped me when I was in some pretty dark places. I hope you enjoy it.
