I Choose

The poetry competition was amazing and made me want to share something that I read a lot. It is important to me. I wanted to share this,although I did not write it.

I Choose

To live bychoice, not by chance;

To makechanges, not excuses;

To bemotivated, not manipulated;

To beuseful, not used;

To excel, not compete;

I choose self-esteem, not self-pity;

I choose to listen to my inner voice,

Not the random opinion of others.
