Choice

The strongest might not be able to give up the one theylove To turn away from the soft spoken word said so often yet never enough To stand alone with courage and in the hour of need make the ultimate sacrifice Knwoing what will be lost, and in that moment knowing it will suffice. There are no quick fixes and the pain won’t fade away Though tomorrow brings a new biginning, the emptiness will stay With it will come a new understanidng of what is an must be Though you lost a part of yourself, another part is set free. And so the learning begins, the change of a heart And the war inside continues to tear body and soul apart Until a choice is made by which you must abide Lay down and die or take a stand and fight the good fight.
