You choose

I’m tired
I went through a phase
Where all I wanted was to be at another place
My dreams made me more tired and I
Made myself feel bad
And to add
To that, I became
A ghost, not alive
I tried to abide
To the new norm
Realizing inside
I felt like a storm
I no longer wanted to put myself
Through all this hell
So I got up
Made coffee, did my hair
And actually cared
About how I looked
I’m not letting my past kill me inside
I’m getting off this self pity ride
I have school and work
I enjoy long walks at the park
And kickboxing
Makes me feel so much better
And these poems are like letters
That let the heart speak
And I want to enjoy the poems I read
What I mean
Is that I need good things
To spread
Like a wildfire in a maze
The one where the labyrinth is set ablaze
And it’s impossible to be lost
When the exit is all around
You get to pick which door to go in
Let that soak in
You get to pick
And that’s life
You can choose who to be
I choose positivity
