Choices Poem by Sarah Sisson

Choices

Rating: 5.0


In the middle of right and wrong
I must stay clear, I must stay strong.

For I have lived here everyday.
I do not falter, nor do pray...

...I come into that stagnant trap....
...when I'm not honest, I do tap...

...a vein that keeps me struggling
when I can not do the right thing.

I'm stuck between the obvious
choices that could be chosen; must...

...take responsibility today
'cause ups and downs are here to play...

...with my emotions centered so
that I can't free my self, let go...

...and choose to be the good or bad
to keep myself from going mad.

This is such a show of strength of mind and character. Taking responsibility; never falter; free to make choice. Thanks for sharing.
