Choose Life
We choose our own teachers,
Just as we choose how to live.
We choose when to have faith,
Just as we choose what to see.
It’s just our personal choices that define us,
Including choices we chose not to make.
It may be our subconscious or conscious thoughts,
But it’s the same twenty four hours in this day.
The smallest of choices could change your life
And a choice we chose not to choose
Could have no effect at all;
But if we chose to succeed,
The chance of failure would shorten;
But would anything really change
If we chose nothing at all?
You see I could have chosen not to,
Write these words for you to read.
Just as you could have chosen,
Not to use your brain and think,
About the underlying text;
Is it speaking the truth?
This is not my question to answer.
Its target is not you.
But still you choose to answer,
For you have read so you must speak.
I have no need for any opinion,
I just wrote this for me to read.

Yup and at the end of the day we just have to take our choices and run with them....... I liked this one......
Thank you. It's an old poem now, but it still has the same meaning it did when I wrote it, and choices are still defining everything throughout my life.
"Don't be shocked, by the tone, of our voice.
Check out my new weapon,
Weapon of choice.
Don't be shocked, by the tone, of our voice.
Check out my new weapon,
Weapon of choice,
Yeah.
Listen to the sound of my voice.
You can check it on out, it's the weapon of choice, yeah...
Walk without rhythm, it won't attract the worm.
Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm.
Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm.
If you walk without rhythm,
You never learn...
...Through the hemisphere, I roam,
To make love to the angels of light, yeah,
And my girl,
I guess you just don't understand.
It's gone beyond being a man.
As I drift off into the night,
I'm in flight..."
Fat Boy Slim - Weapon of choice
How about this one...
I could sing it to you all night, all night
If I could, I'd make it alright, alright
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight
Fight back
Don't take it lyin' down, you got to bite back
The face of liberty's starting to crack
She had a plan up until she got smacked in the mouth
And it all went south
Like freedom
The slaves are lookin' for someone to lead them
The master's lookin' for someone to need him
The promised land is there for those who need it most
And Lincoln's ghost said
Get out of your own way, oh, I
Get out of your own way, oh, I
I could sing it to you all night, all night
If I could, I'd make it alright, alright
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
Blessed are the arrogant
For there is the kingdom of their own company
Blessed are the superstars
For the magnificence in their light
We understand better our own insignificance
Blessed are the filthy rich
For you can only truly own what you give away
Like your pain
U2 get out of your own way
I don't actually like U2 that much because of the lead singer, but these lyrics are okay. Not great, but not terrible. At least now I know you like U2, which is okay. I bought one of there albums many moons ago and I didn't really like it, but at least these lyrics have something to say and they are relatable to choice. I personally would have added the first verse, or parts of the first verse to your reply also because of the mention of love, but that is just my personal choice.
Lol... That's direct. No filter! How refreshing!
I don't like talking about love to strangers! It cannot end well...
Anyway why don't you choose some of my poems... See how it changes the moment after?
Seriously.
