Choices

given to us only as privilege,
not to be taken advantage of!
freely to be made,
few take it seriously as they should.
even fewer wants to take responsibility;
hardly to be mastered,
no guarantee if it is right.
never to be taken lightly:
each one has a gravity of importance,
connected to everyday living.
no easy way out of figuring;
 the choice soesn't make you,
you have to choose the choice that makes you.
even if it means going against the strorm of the norm.
stand firm in what you believe,
beyond pride and dignity.
stolen stillness of content from the moment you prove yourself.
the gravity of wisdom,
the urgency of it's importance,
the different the right choices makes.
