Analysis of Choice

Danielle Cristiano 1988 (Kingston)



Looking up at the stars tonight
Feeling lost, broke inside
Thinking about what I'm about to do with my life
Wondering if what I will do will be right
Am I gonna be happy again?
Will I feel like me?
Maybe I will get an answer by wishing upon every star I see.
Is this what I want?
Where I am to be?
Why is this choice so damn hard for me?
