Janus Face

Forward or backwards, left or right 
Lean on, lean off, dark or bright 
Life has some bends and turns 
Go away from glory or endure the scorches and burns 

Resolution, hesitation 
Lay still or go in motion 
Life has choices to make 
Choose well now, your sunrise is at stake 

Tame your mood, choose one at a time 
Two diverge roads do not rhyme 
Face one now, the other later 
And then settle for the better 

Every coin has two sides 
There are climbs and there are slides 
Just try to make your best flip 
Maintain your balance, be careful not to slip
