Voices full of choices but no way make
Chances we are given but do not take
Minds full of judgement and regret
Especially when the outcome is the opposite of what you expect
Irony is elusive, but not unreal
Sometimes it's better to expect than to just deal
With something you had some power over to stop
But now when it's too late all we want to do is talk
About what could have been instead of what will be
I'm an optimist that's the difference between you and me
No matter the outcome for better or worse
I will not allow my path to change its direction
The same goes for the mirror that portrays my reflection
