My life is what I choose to make it.
I can choose today to look at the experiences of my life in a negative or positive way.
Every experience is there to teach me something.
Is my behavior today one I would be proud of?
Would I tell those I love about it?
Or would I try to hide it, and sneak around in order to do it?
Does it feed my soul, or does it strip away another piece of who I am?
Every choice I make, everything I do, will do one... Or the other.
I can live my life to build myself up, or tear myself down.
To bring joy to others, or pain.  
To prove those who abused me right, or to stand above and take my power back.
To spread love or hate, to bring hope or fear.  
To live in peace... Or chaos.
Once I am aware, I am then responsible.
There are no more excuses, no more denial, just a choice.
And it's all mine.
What will I choose today?
