Decisions
I made a decision, I made a choice
   Can you hear that inner voice
   Attempting to be heard, wanting to be listened to
   No, I won’t listen to it
   No, I will go through with it
   On and on it shouts
   Turning my insides out
 “Go back, say no”
   On and on it goes
   Bad may be good, even though it doesn’t seem that it should
   Admit, you want the forbidden fruit
   Calling your name, you’re spellbound
   Kind, and sweet- the voice comes from the ground
   Intimidating, but luring
   Not to be used for your curing
   Time is short, and the time is now
   I understand, that it is all wrong somehow
 “Me and you, we are quite alike”
   Everything grows silent, and the voice feels like spikes
   And now is when the choice has to be made
   Now is when you must decide
   Do you take a chance, and have a little fun
   Cherish the moment, and do what can be done, only once
   Have you begun to cry?
   And feel like you need one more try?
   No dearest, it is alright
   Even thought you won’t sleep tonight
   Worried that everyone would be ashamed
   Have a seat, tell me your name
   And everything with be fine
   Tell me, have you ever thought of
   What teenagers have been taught of?
   Allowing them guide lines, to make the proper choices
   Still giving them the opportunity to give into those other voices
   More and more decisions must be made
   You mustn’t need to worry today 
   For fate has been set,
   And your loose ends will be met
   Take a deep breath and know
   Everyone makes mistakes, you are not alone
