Choices Poem


Both “it’s up to me” and “it’s my choice” are similar but different.

Cryptic twins that have wildly different personalities.

Scary and innocent.

Same spirits but different hearts.

Acting in the way they see fit.

Be it wrong or right.

***

“It’s up to me” is the more happy of the two.

Full of power and confidence.

Not worried about the consequences.

For they are never truly wrong.

What goes wrong gets worked out in the end.

“It’s up to me” uses that power one step at a time.

***

“It’s my decision” is the timid one.

Scared and hiding behind the shadow of the other twin.

Consequences frighten and agitate.

No choice seems correct in the long term.

Decisions that go wrong forever a stain in the past even if worked out.

“It’s my decision” uses all their power at once and dreads the steps.

***

Which twin is the better of the two?

One shoots ahead while the other lingers behind.

Everyone knows at least one of the twins.

A friend brought along on adventure.

Which twin is currently with you?

Are you happy with that choice?
