CHOICES……….
I MAKE THEM TOO
As I go
through the hustle and bustle of growing up
Certain
casualties I encountered made me stronger
I give and
I take all part of living the good life
Reasonably
I have gotten a good stand
I give
thanks and I say praises
No escaping
the moment when a test comes along
Temptations
they say are the test of faith
Hurriedly
I try to flee, but this flesh and bones remain resolute
I take a
stand and pull my heart out
I burn the
flames so high it takes my hair off
Determined
I stand still, burn it I must
A sudden
burst and a loud swish
I throw
the soft lump into the burning flame
Got to go,
got to go I scream out loud
I live but
once and it’s got to be worth it
No more
screeches from the evil thought that lingers
I shape my
fingers and again into the flames I reach
Not
standing still anymore I go out running
A rush of
adrenaline never gotten from natures high
I wasn’t
shaken, I wasn’t intimidated
I insert
the black lump, hear a click and I know its back in place
It’s a
little harder now, the texture can attest
I give it a
try and run to temptation
It’s a bit
easier as I take out my knife
Time for
an engaging last moves
I didn’t
realize I was heading for the exit
Without a
barricade to hold back
I begin to
float, while I sink further down
No hope I
think, it’s an end game
I feel a
distant voice calling out all along
I have to
hit home run, no dulling this time
I take a left turn
Aha, just now I get the
best position to take this ride
I drop so fast the black
from my heart is fading away
Again I hear that distant
voice calling out
I try to look back, but my
goal is far ahead
Like a javelin I aim for a
soft landing spot
I awake with a grip of
fear, eyes all swollen
I smile to my right and
sigh for a good dream
I will try this again no
doubt about it
I need to close these eyes
for the world is crumbling
Temptations abound even
while sleeping
Resolutions are made with
our eyes wide open
I don’t want to see the
world with my heart shaking
So I got to wait for a
second chance, sure it’s coming
