Choice

Will you cry for years with nothing more to say, Or dry your tears and find a better way? Will you fold and let your story go untold, Or brave a life that's interesting and bold? Will you seek out phantom battles just for spite, Or blight the wrong and always side with right? Will you lag behind, reclusive, in disgrace, Or set the pace and lead the human race? Will you wrestle with your enemies and guilt, Or measure wealth by friendships that you've built? Will you stain your life with unforgiven pain, Or sacrifice when nothing's left to gain? Will you see the glowing sun shine through the rain, Or shut your eyes and live your life in vain?
