Confusion

The things people choose to do
Are beyond my comprehension
With love, with life, with struggles and strife
A human is the most complex invention
Decisions make us who we are
And create paths to where we need to be
Some take advantage of this individual right
Others just sit back comfortably
It is up to us to live our lives
According to what lies in our hearts
Life does not stall because of our history,
Social class, ethnicity, or smarts
We all have a past behind us
And the present is where we stand
Don't let anything get in the way of your dreams
It's your choice on where you want to land
Don't hold back because of your family
Or something someone once told you
Don't hold grudges against enemies
And prevent yourself from living life anew
Don't become a victim and blame someone else
For why you are the way you are
The reasons you don't do this or do that
Is because they ruined your chance of a new start
They are not the ones who walk in your shoes
Or see things through your eyes
Let go of whatever has you in chains
Let go of all those lies
A person's choices are definitely confusing
Who knows what a woman or man wants
But life itself is a precious thing
Because you only get to live it once.
