I declare I have decided, starting now and undivided I will try, yes try, to be aware and honest as much I can, I choose to frame the positives and build with blocks I have instead of dream. I'll never let off steam, nor curse at sudden rocks nor mumble of forgotten socks. I will value and for the content not the value on the face. Of saying no I will be wary, rather yes to the contrary. And if I ever meet the mirrored man, I'll remind him, again, again of the decisions every day and how he himself can shape his way. Maybe he will actually listen instead of preparing what to say.

I don't need free will. I have choices to make. The fourth time you spit it might land on your own chin. A sense of awe is always free and always an option. Just look up and notice just how small you are.
