Your Choice
Avoid all signs of danger.
You know what it can look like.
It's as shiny as that first childhood bike,
and gives you short-lived pleasure.
Don't go down that dangerous road.
It's full of potholes and completely cracked.
It's often hard to find your way back;
but, if you make it through hopefully a lesson is learned.
Never make the choice to lead a dangerous life.
It brings inevitable misery and pain.
Even if going through this brings future gain,
your horror show of a life could have been avoided.
Learn to choose the roads less traveled.
They're the roads that can seem the farthest away.
The ones that seem alot like work as well as play.
Never forget them - faith, hope, and love.
