A Choice Poem by Marla Smith

To look at many points in life is hard to do ~~ Your faced with things your afraid of ~~ Some people don’t realize what is being said until it is too late ~~ What people say and do happens in a ripple effect ~~ What does get them through these times ~~ A simple thought of something or someone ~~ Does it ever make you wonder what people feel ~~ I look form the paper ~~ My eyes trace over to where the wall and the door meet ~~ The door is open to this road ~~ I look around and wonder what I should do ~~ I see the road break away in two different directions ~~ It is only a choice that can lead us somewhere ~~ My mind lingers more and more as seconds pass ~~ I don’t know what lies ahead on both roads ~~ So there is only one way to find out ~~
