What we make of life
Is up to us
Where we choose to open
Close
Fold
Collapse
Rise
Engage
Surrender
And fight
And even then
Often
The outcome of many things
Lies not within our hands
And so as the waves of pain and disappointment hits
What will you do?
How will you respond?
What will you choose?
And how will you
In that way
Affect the outcome
Of your own
Fate?
