CHOICES

Dishonesty will make you sink

Make choices that will cause you grief

You cared about what others think

Now you come to me for relief?

You want to talk your troubles out

On empathy, you make demands

It's funny how you seek me out

And praise how much I understand

You said there was too much of me

I'd be fine if I'd lose a few

Me--Miss Congeniality

A friend; not good enough for you

You thought the superficial one

Would up your cred among your friends

How fitting you're in Hell at home

Those issues never seem to end

Don't look back now. You made your bed

The time I wasted makes me weep

You had me once, but now that's dead

 I vet the company I keep

Your protest is a bit too late

Am I supposed to be impressed?

Was there ever real loyalty

Were your words all spoken in jest?

I've no opinion of the way

You look for chances to be gone

Explain again, now, why you stay?

Excuses just go on and on

I don't care that you're suffering

No thought of that before you tried

To boast, your picture perfect life

Would make your deepest needs subside

My shoulder's long since been retired

It's not available to you

Being sad, and trapped, and mired?

Results of what you chose to do

Don't look back, now. You made your bed

The time I wasted makes me weep

You had me once, but now that's dead

You chose the company you keep

You chose

You're sorry for your choice

You chose

You wanna hear my voice?

You chose

Take your choice somewhere else!

You chose

And now, I choose myself

You chose

Yes, it hurt a while

You chose

Somehow, I have my smile

You chose

Get on back over there

My heart won’t trust you anywhere
