Choice

Yesterday, I was birthed 
Chosen to live 

In my short journey, life has taught me to be 
To be a bee giving honey and stings

With so many love given and taken
With smiles, tears and fears.

In reflection of knowledge and experience 
I have this as my stand


Life don't define me, I define life
Love is deliberate, so I choose to love

In reward of pains and I'll have joys
I'll see my scares as designs 

Beauty are my rough edges
Sweet is my life
I'll live as roses.
