No Choice

No Choice 

When you feel lost, when you feel you have no control
When you feel frustrations multiply and consume you whole

When you feel confusion, like you no longer have a voice 
When you feel life is not what you imagined, like you have no choice 

There are times when you lose control , and carry the burden of guilt 
There are times when you long for a life you once planned and built 

There are times you reminisced for past moments of laughter and rejoice 
There are times when anger consumes you because you have no choice 

When you find  yourself in times of debilitating pain and sorrow 
When you find no cause to carry on, loosing a reason for tomorrow 

When you realize you where given the gift of free will, you do have a voice 
When you start to understand the meaning when you choose to have no choice
