Life Choices

Every choice one makes in life,
Is another step forward into their development.
Each and every choice
Has a meaning.
Sometimes, the one that makes the choice,
Is unaware of the consequences.

Speaking, such choices I’ve made in my life
I was unaware of surprising outcomes.
I’ve found out sad things of other people
Such things I am both happy and sad
That such a situation as thus had to occur
For me to acknowledge such information.

Some choices and actions are
Out of the person’s hands.
They must suffer to continue.

That’s life, and always has been.
Life isn’t a catwalk… and each 
choice we make, proves that it isn’t.

Yet, if life really was as easy as it seems,
No one would seem to have a good purpose.
Because of our choices in hard times, we
managed to develop into new ages.

Pity the people who fail
to see hardships has developed
the future, and pity those who cannot
bear the hardships of life.
