Is your world
a frightening place
or is it filled
with loving grace?
Do you rage
with voices raised
or do you find
the one to praise?
Do you judge
what’s right and wrong
or do you accept
each expression
strong?
Do you react
when triggers felt
or do you breathe
to let it out?
Do you shield
against the pain
or do you open
to wisdom gained?
Do you live
inside your mind
or do you allow
a heart that’s kind?
Do you want
to live in strife
or do you want
a peaceful life?
These are choices
you make each day,
do you want to
struggle or play?
You can choose
to lower or lift.
You can choose
to take or gift.
You can choose
the octave above.
You can choose
to see with love.
