Choices

CHOICES I think about what you did to me every single day I try to block it out but it just won’t go away The things I want to tell you come seeping through my brain They bulldoze their way in like a fast moving train You kept me from my loved ones on special occasions My confidence withered just like dried, shriveled raisins You started staying out late, I knew what you were doing But when I tried to talk to you, you only started screaming I wake up when I’m sleeping very violently Dreaming every night of the things you’ve done to me Because of what you’ve done, I can’t go out after dark Seeking only pleasure from the lonely firefly spark Think about it now as you sit inside your cell Where your drug habit got you and why you’re in jail It’s nothing that I did so don’t even start It’s because of your choices you know it in your heart.
