Chapter 20: The choice

Chapter 20: The choice

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
