'' Over Your Decisions You Alone Preside '' Poem by Bri Mar

When you fall down what do you do,
Look for sympathy and then cause ado
Or pick yourself up and see the task through,
That’s for you to decide.

If you did wrong would you tell lies,
Would you respond to anothers cries?
A plea for help would you despise,
Behind dishonesty would you hide?

Is it in your nature to give assistance?
To what is wrong would you show resistance?
Do you cherish co-existence?
Or do you believe in the great divide.

If someone was dying could you walk past,
Or would you get the Hell out fast,
Never knowing how long they will last,
Use your conscience as your guide.

Could you feel pity for a fellow being?
Regardless of what in life they’re fleeing,
Or do you believe that you’re all seeing,
Would morality be cast to the side?

Is your life obsessed with blaming others?
Friends, parents, sisters or brothers,
The facts alone are what blame smothers,
Fact and fiction eventually collide.

This has nothing to do with any God,
The fact it’s your choice you may find odd,
If you can stand with shoulders broad,
There is no sin in pride.

The answers to all questions are yes or no,
Plain but simple yes I know,
If it’s true you reap what you sow?
Your own reflection you can bide.

The answers will determine who you are,
Will you heal or will you scar,
In your inner self will you travel far?
Or all others will you deride.

If in the wrong do you feel shame?
When confronted do you disclaim,
Then look at what you’ve became,
