My Choices

There are times i wish
Wish i could go back
to yesteryear
to get my heart
back intack

I CHOSE
to enter into a
relationship
where i got
abused

I CHOSE
to ignore
what i know
boring holes into my ears
coloring my hair [honeyblonde]

I CHOSE
to talk about ppl
behind their backs
when they were
struggling just
like me

I CHOSE
to ignore ppl's true
character
and say what i thought
about them

I CHOSE
I CHOSE

I CHOSE
to let others break
me down

I CHOSE
to let others
treat me
any old way

I CHOSE
I CHOSE

My choices have caused me pain and
i now choose to correct my errors
and heal my own wounds

I, Caroline, choose:
to be my self
be true to my self
be true to those around me
be true to the ones i love
be true to my family and the little
ones that look up to me
to be true to my body and stay in shape
to keep my thoughts to myself
if they are infact unkind

This is easier said than done
but i made the committment now i have to
stick it through
