You Decide

by: Nehemiah L. Hemingway

A decision could be the end
or beginning of your life;
no matter what the outcome
at the time it seems just right.

The knowledge of the future,
to think what it may hold...
many are out there searching,
and others don’t want told.

Even though some can’t imagine
what waits far ahead,
sometimes agreeing with your heart
is better than debating in your head.

Not living your life
the way others want you to
leaves no better feeling
than you just being you.

They expect you to be perfect,
you could never do a wrong,
until they read your poems
or you tell them in a song.

You don’t need the criticism,
because of what you choose.
You have so much to gain
and them, nothing to lose.

So you took a risk,
Who cares? It is your choice.
There will always be spoken opinions,
what is stronger is: your voice.

A decision could be the end
or beginning of your life;
no matter what the outcome
at the time it seems just right.
