Choices

Choices and consequences.
Cause and effect.
Right and wrong.
The never ending cycle,
That smothers our lives,
With pressure from our peers.
Every moment that we live,
We are making decisions,
Whether these choices,
Are the right ones,
Or the wrong ones,
Is open to interpretation.
What causes us,
To make the choices we do?
Do we do things,
For self benefit,
Or personal happiness?
Or do we make certain decisions,
For other people,
Only wanting them to be happy,
And sacrificing our own well-being.
Whether your actions,
Are based on your own motivations,
Or the hopes and dreams of another,
Being lived through us,
We choose and do what we do,
For a reason.
Now I cannot ell you,
What you should do.
But I will say this,
Whatever you decide to choose,
And those courses of action,
You act upon,
Do it,
So that you may be happy,
In the end.
Because if you aren't happy,
What is the point?
You are always in control,
Of yourself.
Use that simple truth,
To your advantage.
For you,
And you alone,
Control your actions.
We should live for ourselves,
Because it's our life.
