Box of Chocolates

Box of Chocolates

A Poem by Josh Anderson
"

Life is full of choices, just like a box of chocolate.

"
They say home is where your heart is 
Mine roams the stars 
Am I homeless 
Or without a heart 
But I can still hear it beating 
If only fleeting 

They say a home without a father is broken 
But mine's somewhat whole 
Was society misspoken
Or made up of fools 
I'd go with the latter 
Which is somewhat sadder 

They say those in authority need our trust 
But who's watching them
While they're watching us 
Foe or friend 
We can't ask that much 
Before we've said enough 

They say life is a box of chocolates
Well I'm inclined to agree 
Question is did you get nougat
Or did you get fat free 
It's sweeter with a choice 
Will you find your voice

So Very Much True...I Couldn't Agree More.....
This was very lovely and thought provoking. Its a great way to put an individual's view on life in perspective, and it flowed so nicely!
Two things I noticed that I'd like to point out:
1. "But I can still heart it beating " I think you meant to say "hear"
2. "But mines somewhat whole" the proper word here would be "mine's", as it is a contraction for "mine is".
That's the most of what I caught. Loved this, the cadence of it was consistent and the messages were very real! Well done! :)
