I Choose...

Just take control
Forget everything
And make a choice

Every thing's the same
Yet, every thing's changed
I've made my choice
And I know
It won't be a mistake

It's not my fault:
MY asshole of a father left
And that almost
Everyone else did, too

It's not for me
To take the blame
For other people's mistakes
It's their choice
That they've made

One thing that's my fault:
Being depressed
For so many days

I let it effect me
What he said
To try and bring me down
I chose
To let those words hurt me

I chose
To push people away
And lie by saying
It's for their own safety
When really
I was just afraid

I chose
To let it affect basketball
To distract me
Make me irritated, sad, and angry

But now...

I choose to be strong
And stand
Not fall
I choose...

To not let it effect me.

Author notes

This poem is just about me finally choosing to...see, i just have a bunch of crap going on in my life and it's been going on for a while. It effected me soooo much...I don't want to go on and say how because I kind of just want to leave those depressed dark times behind.

I've just...I'm finally choosing to not let it effect me.

Please tell me what you think
