Train Ride Decides

"Each day we assess, What we will do best Even if not a direct decision, We are guided by our inner vision Sculpted by time and events, And our desire for happiness To chose that which feels right, And I’m not meaning to be trite For its the obvious choice, If satisfaction had a voice But sometimes decisions are not clean cut, When personality’s and circumstances muck them up Causing us to rethink or compromise, For keeping the peace is also wise A battle now, we chose not to fight, Saving that for when the time is right How then, can we appeal, Without a pouting wail Or temper tantrum to get our way, For what we wanted today Perhaps we need to understand, The over reach of others demands Wanting to claim some of me, To prevent what I want to be Each day “your” train leaves the “station”, Traveling to its “destination “ Who you invite to travel in that car, Determines who you are Your choice then, is the “Express”, Straight to what you think is best Or one that pauses at every stop, Because that’s what someone else has thought How you travel in life is your decision, So remain true to your vision
