My Choice, Of Course Poem by Bashyam Narayanan

To read or ignore this
Is your choice
To understand or misunderstand this
Is your choice
To look good or otherwise
Is your choice
To be happy or sad
Is your choice
To smile or frown
Is your choice
To be enthusiastic or otherwise
Is your choice
To go forward or backward
Is your choice
To dream or to be lost in the past
Is your choice
To stay at peace or in discomfort
Is your choice
To believe or disbelieve
Is your choice
To add life or strife to your years
Is your choice
To count on your strength or mourn on your weakness
Is your choice
Whatever be your choice
Penning down this piece is
My choice, of course
