Analysis of Choices



Some day we all learn  
Life is about choice
Sometimes we yearn
Without rejoice

And we hold onto
What we can’t change
Clinging, drawn to
That which is strange

Let go of the past
Look past the present
What just won’t last
Just brings lament

Let happiness be
The path you pursue
Light and carefree
Life choice for you.
