I am not a poet by any means, but I was compelled to write this one.
It Is My Choice
It is my choice to be who I am
It is my choice to have given in to my older brother’s brutal scam.
It is my choice to live a life in secrecy.
It is my choice to ignore the dangers of smoking completely.
It is my choice to puff, puff and puff as much as I like
It is my choice that I do not prefer to ride a bike
It is my choice to smoke Newports boxed or lites
It is my choice to not let my mother in law know what it is like.
It is my choice to work with people who puff, puff their health away
It is my choice to live and puff another day
It is my choice to make sure my husband and children don’t see the white smoke flow from my nose and mouth
It is my choice to drive a blue car, frequently found with ashes, matches and mildew from the south.
It is my choice to avoid being the perfect person,
It is my choice if I wish to worsen.
It is my choice to be kinder to those who take and take without ever trying to give back, because they smoke without giving me any flack
It is my choice to be less than perfect, because I don’t see how it is worth it.
It is my choice to be a good home baker, because I like to sit and care for my children and be a home maker.
It is my choice to mis-understand the dedicated love from my man
It is my choice to judge and hold a grudge as long as I can
It is my choice to not give in
It is my choice to never change for the better to win
It is my choice to live life in the past because that’s what my brother wants to last
It is my choice to risk loosing a good man, because it is MY CHOICE to smoke and smoke as much as I can.
