What do you choose?

So…what do you choose?

What do you choose?
To react or respond?
To be chained by habits
or to break those bonds

What do you choose?
Compulsion or choice?
The echo of others
Or your own voice?

What do you choose?
Hedonism or health?
Distractions of the outside
or inner wealth?

What do you choose?
Patience or pleasure?
Instant gratifications
or hidden treasures?

What do you choose?
Matter or mind?
To lug the past
or leave it all behind?

What do you choose?
Silence or sound
To surf through the noise
or to comfortably drown

What do you choose?
Discipline or desire
To consume or be consumed
By that inner fire

What do you choose?
To survive or strive
Do you choose to live
Or do you choose to be alive?
