The future seems to hold
To many choices to be foretold
The possibilities seem, to me
So frightening I want to flee
I know I can’t, so here I am
Standing tall I’ll be dammed
For the rest of my days, I will spend
Hopefully I’ll make it to the end.

The author's comments:
This is what my mom always says "It's all about choices" so she inspired it. Most people don't think before they act, and that's were bad things happen. I hope you enjoy! (p.s i didn't know if the word "dammed" would be an issue, i hope it's not)

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
