Choices surround us,
each and everyday.
What we do with them
is truly what matters.

Too often it would appear
that one takes things for granted.
Acts upon things without regard
to having any sense of self control.

The choices one makes
are capable of many things.
These things can be big
and they can be small.

The choice to breathe air,
and the choice to swallow spit.
The choice to eat food,
and the choice to drink water.

It all seems to be within the norm
that one does such simple things.
They are however, not just simple things
but rather complex and finite.

The choices one makes
can positively build one up.
While other choices on makes
can negatively break one down.

What one chooses to do can
can permanently affect someone forever.
However, if one chooses to refrain,
then there could be infinite results.

There is a beauty in humanity
with which one can choose to accept.
This beauty is something
that can be found within everyone.

All you have to do
is choose.
