The Choice and Chances of Change.

The Choice and Chances of Change 

I sit and wonder,
how long will it take
before we see change?
Is it simply a matter of time?

Change is born from choices made,
but what if those choices are not entirely our own,
shaped by people,
by the environment,
by the repetition of familiar situations?

How, then, can true change come,
when everything seems to pull us back
into the same cycle?

Take a chance, they say,
make a choice,
and change will come about
when the chances and choices are different?
