You Choose

• Artist: Zerosplit
• Description: The first two stanzas are something that I repeated to myself as essentially a mantra; I did not fail, I succeeded. I graduated and I faced my fears every single day without running.
  The third stanza is me admitting my weakness. I admit I'm troubled, but I"m strong. I won't allow my weakness to weaken others and when I'm strong enough I will help others.

All the choices we have made
Are filled with fears and our mistakes,
They’re filled with joys and our success
Because we know we tried our best,
Because we know it’s who we are
That has gotten us this far.

All the choices that we make
Are filled with sorrow and heartache,
They’re filled with smiles and good friends
Because we know our hearts will mend,
Because we know that they’ll be there
Whenever we ourselves can’t care.

All my life my head’s been down,
Dodging looks to hide my frown.
But I know every now and then
I’ll find someone to be my friend.
When I finally hold my head high
I’ll look for all who hide their eyes.
At that moment I will choose
To end the cycle of abuse.
