You don’t have a choice
On how you’re brought into the world
You do have a choice
On how you can leave it
A morbid sentiment
But more importantly
It’s not actually
Strictly true
Sure you can’t choose your parents
Your nationality
Your gender
Or even ethnicity
That’s all left to biology
What you can and already have chosen
Without any contemplation
Is far more simple
You don’t remember it
It’s buried deep down
Present in the primal recesses of all life
Be it the smartest of man
The smallest of bacteria
Or the largest prehistoric beasts
Cognisant or not
An uncomplicated desire
To do nothing more
Than live
It’s not easy
Even though the desire
Begins right at the start
From that moment of conception onwards
Everything gets a little more complicated
Immediately the struggle begins
Immediately the choice is yours
It’s not easy
To fight every day
For the first moment to the last
With no guarantee of survival
Yet we’re given promise in the primal
That if we do
If we fight
Life will find its way
You do have the choice
On how you’re brought into the world
Not only do you have a choice
You fight in a war
Where only one victor can survive
You compete in a race
Against insurmountable odds
And you did
And you won
Sure now that you’re here
Cognisant of all life’s complexities
Consumed by the perplexities
You might have changed your mind
But remember you’ve been here before
Choosing whether or not to exist
Remember you’ve chosen to live once
That the strength to fight is within you
Dont give up now
After everything you went through to be here
Why not choose it again
Why not
Live

Why thank you! Morbid but with a clearly defined point, I don’t know if it was more for me or more to spread a seed of hope but I really like the way it’s turned out.

Ahaha. Well that that’s one word for it. I’m utterly uninspired right now. I’m trying to get myself going again but I didn’t want to come back until I was ready to be me.
Got a few Christmas things I want to post but I figured I’d ease my way back in and do comments and catch up. Hopefully doing it this way will mean me sticking around properly.
