I Chose

I chose to live for tomorrow not today, 
I chose to patch myself up, 
Get up, be productive, 
I chose to prove you wrong. 

I chose to fight, 
I chose to fight for me, 
My heart, my happiness. 
I chose to be happy. 
I chose to let go, 
I chose to hold on to what gives me strength. 

I chose you, 
I chose what makes me whole, 
I chose what makes me smile, 
I chose to not give up. 

At the end of the day, 
I CHOSE ME.

NICE!!! The relation with the self is an important part in how you deal with others and life in general. It always begins with you before going to others. Lovely write this!
