Choices
  Opportunity                                     
  The freshest scent         
  Is one of new opportunities        
  The chance to grow       
  To expand your horizons   
  Nothing can stop you now                             
  Knowledge is power      
  Grab hold of your life     
  And become who you are meant to be   
  Thousands of worlds before you      
  Ready to make you, you    
  The power of books      
   
  Failure
  The strongest stench
  Is one of failure
  Your potential stunted
  You narrowed your world
  You held yourself back
  Your own weakness
  Controlled your life
  And made you what you are now
  The world crumbling around you
  And you don’t know yourself
  The power of drugs

This story was actually influenced by my brother, he ended up going down the path of drugs and while he is slowly recovering his life is very far off track compared to mine.
