Choices

Kim Spivey 1957 (New York)



You made a choice to do it your way.

Little did you know they would not stay.

You decided to be angry and not calm down.

So rather than listen, you chose not to be around.

Our actions and words do give us a voice.

But think about it; is it always the right choice?
