Cheri Golden Poet Rhyme

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.
