CHOICES

You sit down and work it all out

all the minute details you make perfect

you make all plans fool proof

so that errors are cover prooof

and when you act you act with caution

make sure you dont hurt yourself

ensure you dont hurt a loved one

and try to be injury free

you convince yourself over and over again

that the choice you made is the right choice

that you are moving foward no way backward

and the right direction is you destination

it may last a day, a week, a month, a year

you feel youre on the right track

and suddenly it hits you square and fair

that you made the right choice

this time you dont hurt yourself

you dont hurt someone else

instead everyone is hurt especially yourself

and youre left with the consequence of your choice.
