We Make Choices Poem by chelsi Ruffing

We make choices to live by
Choices to keep us going even when we cry
A rule never said but that's always there
In a world cold, black and very unfair
We make choices to keep us safe from the harm
Like being warned to back away like an alarm
Something more like words never spoken
Take away the net what's keeping us from being broken
We make choices hopeing for them to keep us strong
But taking any steps back everything is still all wrong
Standing still breathing slow just isn't working out right
Fists up heart racing your always ready to fight
We make choices because it's what we've been told
Knuckles turning white from having such a tight hold
We've grown up use to it but doesn't make it true
The real choices are always up to you!
