Only You
Decisions, Decisions.
Every single decision
Completely affecting another.
To stay at home,
Or run around town.
To call it a day,
Or stay up until six.
One decision, many directions.
Many paths created, many halted.
Your lifestyle can instantly change.
Work out for three hours,
Or slouch before a screen.
Learn new songs,
Or make a ham sandwich.
Major decisions, serious consequence.
Some necessary, others lethal.
The ones that change your life.
Find the perfect job,
Or make a thousand excuses.
Master cooking and mechanics,
Or let knowledge deteriorate.
All of these decisions.
One person holds the power.
Make your decisions wisely.
Provide for your family,
Or rot in jail.
Get yourself up early,
Or live in eternal shame.
No one is stopping you.
Get it through your head.
I wish I could..
