Be Free To Choose

Don't listen to bad advice,
you're allowed to make
the same mistake twice;
please, wake up for Heaven's sake:
mistakes aren't easy to unmake,
stop tossing the dice!

Shattered dreams 
set in motion tears,
be free to choose the life
that offers only happiness,
don't settle for anything less:
prevent another goodbye!
 
If emotions take over sanity:
you'll fall in that trap again and be sorry;
I'm here to guide you, until it's very clear
that perfection is vanity,
but many won't shout and cheer 
when fear starts to appear!

Nobody has ever been free of guilt,
we all have made terrible mistakes;
and the best lesson is to learn twice, 
who has hurt someone's heart
can understand what it takes
to gather strength and apologize! 
So be free to choose joy, not pain;
so be free to express your devotion!
