Choices

Posted on by

By. Kadin Sint

 

There once was a man

Who struggled to find the right job

He had many jobs to choose from,

Each job offer different,

a different path,

a different ending,

His future depended on his choice,

Completely up to him to decide,

leaving him feeling good, or in regret and in pain,

The choice would put him in many different situations,

the good and the bad,

Completely blind, like a blindside hit, not knowing how each job would go,

In the end, the choices would make up who he was and where he ended.
