Since childhood we made choices of good or bad
Since childhood we made choices to be happy or sad

Choices we made stick to truth or fake
Choices we made learning to give or take

Teenage passed, parental pressure in making choices
Teenage passed, with our thoughts all filled of their noises  

Our growing dreams were hard choices to refine
Our growing dreams to chase? Or society divine?

Threatening were some choices, see clues  
Threatening were valued people, we lose

So promise...

Today I will stick to the choices I make
Today as I love myself more than it takes

Will not run around to make your world mine
Will not run to get your attention in dime

At every step two paths divide
At any step you can choose yours and I will choose mine
For all those who forget to choose themself over others, practice makes you perfect.

Take time. Choose yourself!

Key
Breathe with your brain,
think from your heart
&
let the blood flow through your lungs when you survive.

While little did it rain
We followed her down the lane
Waving an order of restrain
Shouting,"This looks insane!"

What the hell was going on?
Who beat her here and there?
Why the hell were her clothes torn?
Leaving face all swollen, scars bare?

We followed her through the meadow
Asking,"Why let yourself through this?"
She ran from her own shadow
Crying, "It's for the stomach and kids."

"My man is my ****, I'm bought by his kiss,
My eyes are blinded by his love mist,
Being sold every night, was a surprise twist,
I believe in the end he's mine and I am his."

Dreaming to sail world with money they make
She knew not, all his stupid promises  were fake
Few years from now, no patterns brake
Her body's advantage is all he'd take

This agonising pain, holds no gain
Don't push your life away in filthy drain
But how to her do we explain?
So young, so beautiful, stuck in a trafficking chain

Cruel world for those who know nothing
Innocence will fade, if we don't do something

Sometimes the truth is hard to find,
A little bit of trust, eats a bit of your mind,
I run over rocks to feel the pain,
Let it rain, don't seek, no gain.

Only for a moment I stopped to look back,
For a smile on my face he left me years back,
His hands were comforting, his voice was deep,
Love ran on his face, love literally did reek.

It's all hazy now, didn't break no trust,
I was his, and so was my lust,
Lies and darkness he endowed upon me,
Where was his love flying, all so suddenly?

I tried to figure, solve, what triggered,
I tried to detach, but my happiness withered,
Used ways and means to leave him behind,
Couldn't help myself but look back, in hindsight.

Every imposition was suddenly revoked,
Felt free, with no hope, a bit choked,
What was I doing? What was I? So mad?
In the end it's my life, what makes me glad.

I won't do this, I won't do that,
Hell of a rebel, I had in my hat,
I wasn't going to fall, not again,
Somehow my heart beat wasn't the same.

This new life, then held my hand,
Only to make me understand,
Just two of us, no needs, no demand,
Here we are, here together we stand.

Different as it was, I could look in his eyes,
Fun things we did, everyday is still a surprise,
No false promises, no space for lies,
Wonder how he makes me feel this confident and shy!

Would I walk a mile again? Heart's been through a lot,
Will love get back, with no hate in plot?
I have everything, as much as I need,
Just need some love, don't have to beg or plead.

*Let love happen again?

Everyday is a wake up struggle,
Pack bags, one orange on the way we juggle,
Family and work, life is double,
It's hard to keep calm face, show no trouble.

I know him and her of day to day,
So fit and fine on chair they stay,
Computer screen, staring away,
Knows who what in background lay?

Back home a kid cries for mom,
Waiting for daddy to sing a song,
Back home an old lady sitting calm,
While they work for her meds & balm

Ever wonder how many couple fights,
To settle together at a work place right?
Stress of work bald patterns light,
Work work work, no sleep all night

A drink with friends, end of a busy week,
Time spend with self or many colleagues?
Every peny for travel, savings, no leak,
Getting leaves for vacations? chances look bleak.

Can I keep this baby now?
Will I be able to provide? And how?
On flip side they have a baby, wow!
Sweets & new pictures of baby bow.

Financial misery to avoid,
Fill insurance papers, with help of a guide,
For extra outings investments tried,
New car, furniture, for further studies to provide.

Thought of a boyfriend, fiancée, husband, wife,
Travel or celebrate kids bday is a strife,
Tension encountered every minute of work life,
Torn between emotions, decisions in office is rife.

So many things going on in our mind,
Nowhere to see, breathe or peace we find,
This is a trade off of an evolving humankind,
Something goes on in the background all the time.

Breathe
Don't cry
Look at me
Keep writing
Don’t hurt self
Connect all dots
Try to understand
Explore new places
Pull yourself together
Learn a new something
May all dreams come true
Beautiful things are in store
We'll always be there for you
Make it a happy day regardless
You are not blindfolded anymore
Let not clouds cast a shadow again
Your heart is stronger than you think
You were and you will always be loved

Be an archer, burn to shine, restore freedom
Lines by best of friends who keep you from losing yourself.

You know she won't leave me
Know she won't leave me
She won't leave me
Won't leave me
Leave me
Me
Leave me
Won't leave me
He won't leave me
Know he won't leave me
You know he won't leave me
What goes around comes back around
