Poem Title: Decisions, Choices, Life...
Genre: Emotional
Written: 2009

Decisions, choices, life.
All one spiraling circle-
all one spiraling clock going out of control.

Would you dance for me,
if I were to dance with you?

Decisions, choices, life.
People tend not to listen,
when others only want to be heard.

Would you care for me,
how I have cared for you?

Would you come to my hospital room,
if I ended up in an accident?

Decisions, choices, life.
One step beyond the boundary,
could greatly impact anothers life.

If I were to fall helplessly,
would you come to my rescue or leave me in the dust?

If I had a gun pointed at my head,
would you take the bullet or run?

Decisions, choices, life.
If I can stop and take a moment,
could you?

Nobody ever knows,
what others may go through.
Assuming the reality,
they see others enter.

Nobody ever knows,
what pain you may be in.
Assuming the perfect picture,
even though you beg and you beg to be seen.

Taking time,
to stop and think of another-
may end up being,
the best you can do.

If you were to fall victim to a painful cry,
would you want someone?
Someone to reach out for?

If you were to cry out helplessly into the darkest hours,
would you long for someone?
Someone to hold tight,
and wish the nightmare-
would just blow away?

Many among us wish the same.
When others instead party all day.

Now, when looking at your friends,
if I were to die-
who would fill my spot-
the friend you never took the time for...

...as I waste away on my death bed?
