Decide
I.
It comes.
It goes.
Its source a mystery.
Its duration an enigma.
It’s given to us all.
It’s taken in an instant.
–
If you accept it – up to you.
II.
They instruct.
They chide.
They’re your tour guide.
They’re often demanding.
There, a stumbling block.
There, a pigeonhole.
–
Will you disobey – up to you.
III.
You grow.
You learn.
You’re ever-evolving.
You’re ever-changing.
Your life.
Your choice.
–
What you do with it – up to you.
–
Decide.

Very well said. It comes down to making choices. That’s life eh. All about making choices and benefitting, or suffering the consequences.
