One Mistake

One small choice can change the future.
One small heartbreak can eliminate you from the world.
One little conversation can change your every belief.
One little secret can stop your world from unfolding.
One little accident can create a life full of misery.
One little slip up can create a lifetime of shame.
One small wrong movement can eliminate you from the game.
Something very little can affect everything. 
So why carelessly choose your path?
