Choices

 
Act1: Dilemma
Life is going to present you options
from easy to hard, all variations
each moment you will have one
carefully you should consider each
says the wise one
 
this decision is not going to be easy
but then again which one was
you will face the consequences
and most likely, alone 
you will be under scrutiny
by the society and your loved one
 
Nonetheless, don’t forget this is important
just like the previous one
or the one before that
so buckle up, gather yourself and
make this choice
 
in the end what are we
if not a living consequence of our choice
 
Act2: Ecstacy
kudos for making that decision
if it wasn’t for that 
you would still be stuck with
your old outdated version
 
Look where this choice led you to
you are climbing up the ladders of success
gone are the days of depression and sadness 
 
Enjoy this moment
cherish this feeling
give yourself a pat on the back
After all that was a tough decision
 
Remember this won’t be forever
so capture this joyful memory
this successful version of yours
you did well with your choices
 
In the end what are we 
if not a living success of our choices
 
Act3: Despair
I heard you were faced with a situation
and a very difficult one
but then again
was there ever an easy one
 
Why are you disappointed?
why are you so sad?
oh no, no, no, no, no
don’t hold back your tears
yes, you chose badly this time
so what! did u forget
success and failure are two verses of same song
 
look at the bright side
at least you are not stuck 
you will learn from this
and your next version
whoof! My god, can’t wait for it!
I am so glad that you made that choice
and allowed yourself that pain
 
In the end what are we
if not a savant of our choices
