Choices
Every day, there are choices to make
Get up or go back to bed
Be happy or be depressed
Go to the gym or eat junk food
Study for a big test or watch a screen
Help others or help yourself
Be the hero or be the villain
Live or die
What choices will I make today?
Will they be the right ones
or the wrong ones?
Will they improve my life
or damage it?
When I die
Will I be thoroughly happy with the life I've lived?
Today I will make myself a better person
so the answer to that question will be,
"Yes."
Omatav reporting. I'm no expert, aye, but I'm gonna say that a decent thing to do with free verse, is be short and concise as ya can. Like the "live or die" bit is the kind of conciseness I'd want to see in the whole poem, see.

wow, this was really really good. I really liked how you put in all the oposite sides of everyday choices... "be happy or be depressed". i agree with this completely even though you may not be able to control what happens to you in life you can pick what attitude you choose to face it with. great job.
