- Choices -

We all have a choice to live a lie or be ourselves to laugh and cry or to follow someone else to look up and smile or bow down and frown to walk the whole mile or take off our crown We have a choice to shout out loud or chant a whisper to fly through the clouds or to be blown like paper to conquer our fear or hide in the shadow to the wise words hear or be thrown out the window We all have a choice to climb our highest mountain or fall into our deepest hole to drink from life's fountain or live life like a troubled soul to learn love in the heart or grasp to hate with regret to wake up and start or sleep until sunset We all have a choice to speak truly with ourselves or go against what seems We all have a choice to fulfill our greatest dreams
