such are the choices - or - what would you do?

welcome to the corners of your mind
deepest peace of torture, youll be sure to find
most of our lives are spent looking out
to fill the ever gowing inner gaps, no doubt
a library of kisses, choices, bad mistakes and good
from that first beating in school, upto until the day you stood
down from yourself and took a good look inside
do you like who you see, do you feel pride
are you just human, feeling great pain
for the day when caused for another such rain
to fall on their soul, in torrid swathes of flood
the day that you felt inside your no good
or the day you helped another to feel
that inside they were stunning, such was your zeal
of bodies born there are no good or bad
only choices befall us, some sane some mad
do the right thing weigh up the cost
of what you do today as tomorow could be lost
for you or those around you, memories we keep
to help us judge our choice today, from experiences so deep
what choices will you have tomororow, lets not think of them
for the important ones are here and now, like a precious little gem
today is filled with choices, be in what colour top or shoe
they are just the little ones, the ones feel good to you
but often there are greater ones, the ones that you can do
to help another smile or cry, maybe even live or die
so make your choices wise and and try be just and kind
for kept theyll be, for another days choice, in the corners of your mind
