Analysis of Decisions
Shelley Flint 1965 (california)
Life is so hard, who knows what to do...
Do the same things or try something new?
The older you get, the harder it seems, to do the right thing, to fulfill all your dreams.
Which road should I take, which path will I make...
Will I do the same things or make another mistake
I will be true to myself and the ones I hold dear, but
to make the right decision isn't always clear
