An Admission of Guilt

Glinting of the nickel
Flip it, place it on the table
Relegate to gravity
That of fate- of destiny
In the end 
It's a choice
To accept 
Or avoid
After the flip,
Do you obey it
Pull back the hammer 
To strike the steel with flint
It's still a choice
Drop hands from wheel, place them by your side
Watch the blurring treeline, shifting away my eyes
I've certainly lied
Proxies for good faith
I've blurred those lines
It's still a choice

Well composed Jonathan sprinkled with interesting metaphors. You're not wrong, it is a choice but give yourself forgiveness too. Have a great day.
