The Choice

The Choice
By Amy Carothers 

To many years I fought the waves
The ups and downs keeping the currents at bay
I’ve learned this year you can’t control
Everything life bestows

The most important thing is to be true to you
Don’t let others drag you down or be cruel
Make a choice to stand up for yourself
You’ll be surprised how good it felt

Loving is powerful but can be binding
Leaving is sometimes the most freeing

Sometimes the life we were born into is not what we need
By removing ourselves , it’s like the cage bird being freed

You can love but not remain
Be true to yourself, be happy and that’s winning life’s game
