And then you make a choice
for all the right reasons
which leads you to others;
other choices, some easy, some tough
and some that aren’t choices at all.
And then you blunder on,
not so much through your mistakes
as through your self-made impossibilities,
through smiles, tears and laughter
towards the inevitable choices you don’t want to make.
And then you’re left with the choice
to do the right thing
at a price which is much too wrong
or doing what is wrong
at the expense of all that matters.
And then you wonder
and then you think
and then you weigh
and then you choose.
