We Decide
Friend or foe, we decide.
Whether enemy or ally,
we dismiss or deny.
Quick retreat, long goodbye.
Do we look to see,
or turn away?
In haste, we flee,
or choose to stay.
Hurrying through the day,
living life on the run.
Giving too much away,
by the time day is done
Did we share a smile,
when catching someone's eye?
Creating our own style
or move on without reply?
Those we pass on the street,
do we just ignore?
Like a text that we delete,
not wanting to offer more.
Forever friends prove to be rare,
gone at the first sign of strife.
Realizing they don't care,
a hard lesson learned in life.
Kindness is a simple act,
that doesn't cost a thing.
To me, it's a proven fact,
it can make my heart sing.
