HE watches, I choose, HE chooses...

The things I choose,
The things I chose.
Gives me happiness,
Has given me woes.
Has made me friends,
Has made me foes,
The things I choose,
The things I chose.

The things I choose,
The things I chose.
I have sunk down,
And up I rose.
I guess, I know,
That's how life goes.
The things I choose,
The things I chose.

The things I choose, the things I chose.
Since I was born, this I did so.
I chose to breathe, I chose to grow,
I chose to read, I chose to know.
I chose to stop, I chose to go,
I chose to hide, I chose to show.
I chose to speak up, and then say no.
I chose to open my mind and then say oh!
I chose something stupid and then say doh!
I chose to be more than the average joe.
I chose to seek, I chose to find,
I chose to sleep, I chose my mind.
I chose my strength is second in line,
I chose to see when once I was blind.
I chose to cry, I chose to crawl,
I chose to try, I chose football.
I chose to stand on my own ten toes.....
The things I choose, the things I chose.

A Journey

when does a journey begin?

is it with the first heartbeat?

is it with the first thought?

or the first movement of feet?

is it the view of second base?

or knowing you are second best?
is it the second you feel grace?

or your second to last breath?
is it when you step into third grade?
or fail for the third time?
or the third time you get paid?
is the third time a charm a big lie?
when does a journey begin?
was is the beginning of time?
what happened inbetween?
how did I forget, the biggest essence of me?
when will I remember?
when will I become awake?
For All Thoughts Everywhere...is that the acronym of fate?
Why is there a gate?
Why have I seperated?
Why take this journey?
When I no doubt in my mind hate it?
Why ask all these questions?
Why can't I ask answers?
Why is everything backwards?
What is the matter is the question?
Is whats the matter is the answer?
Someone once asked me...when does the journey end?
From where I'm standing, the journey ends when it begins...
