I chose Me

I chose Me

I chose me...
Was the only possibility I could see.
I felt the deadening of my soul again,
I felt controlled, knew this was the end.
You can try, but I know with certainty,
That when I have to choose, I'll always choose me.

I chose myself...
Not to live under the rule of someone else.
If I stand alone..so be it, I'll stand alone,
I have no trouble walking this path on my own.
I'd rather make footprints that I know are all mine,
Then walk a path of someone else's design.


Thanks,
