If you could choose

• Artist: Ladynightstalker101
• Description: We may not be able to choose our parents
  Or who we fall in love with
  Or which people come to understand us best.
  But we may choose whether to
  keep them
  Or set them free.

If you could choose
The person to be with
Within the last moments of your life,
Who would you choose?

Would you choose
Your family.
The ones who raised you,
But never fully understood you?

Would you choose
Your lover.
In such a short time,
Seems to have figured you out?

Would you choose
Your closest friend.
The one you can trust
To help you make it through.

Would you choose
To be alone.
Because the one who understands you best
Is yourself.

Who would you choose?

this is a nice freeverse poem...

This isn't poetic.
It's just a bunch of phrases without any cohesion.
