So many things to cry about,
Yet I choose to smile.
So many things to stay back for,
Yet I choose to go the extra mile.
So many things that still remain,
Yet I choose the ones yet to come.
So many things, festering, like open wounds,
Yet I choose to stay numb.
So many things have wronged me in the past,
Yet I choose to keep an open heart.
So many daggers in my back,
Yet I choose a virtuous path.
