Choices we all must make

Some are good some bad

Survive or ourselves forsake

Be miserable or be glad

Grab the ring or make a mistake

Bare our soul or stay totally clad

Stand tall and straight or quiver and quake

Live in the moment or relish what we had

Show true self or be a fake

Dress in black or wear plaid

Remain strong or weaken and break

Stay in a rut or jump from the pad

Choices to make or not to make

Refuse to grow or stretch a tad

Change yes I can if I awake

Not left to you it's all up to me

Inner peace being at stake

The author of my own destiny
