You Can Always Choose Again

I’ve made choices based on passion, inspired by a lovers face.

I’ve made choices based on restlessness, thinking another life would be in another space.

I have chosen because of promises dangled in front of my eyes.

I have chosen to create my own reality out of someone else’s lies.

But the way I’ve kept my sanity and held on to my soul,

The way I’ve picked up all the pieces that somehow kept me whole,

Is in remembering no matter how it all got started or how it came to an end,

I somehow always remembered, “You can always choose again.”

I’ve chosen to give up who I was so I could love another.

I’ve chosen to stop and rest when I could have gone much further.

I’ve chosen to forget where home was and I’ve chosen to be lost.

I’ve even chosen to buy happiness and forgot to ask the cost.

But the way I’ve kept my sanity and held on to my soul.

The way I’ve picked up all the pieces that somehow kept me whole.

Is in remembering no matter how it all got started or how it came to an end,

I somehow always remembered, “You can always choose again.
