It's My Choice

It’s my choice if I want to be

clean as washed, scented hair,

charming as a box of silver diamonds,

active as an athlete,

calm as a silent monk,

smart as a gifted historian,

vibrant as a living rainbow,

and kind as a cuddly puppy.

It’s my choice if I want to be

greasy and oily like French fries,

naughty as a thug,

odorous like rotten fish,

trashy like burned paper,

wild as a hyena,

ugly as a pimply-faced witch,

lazy like a sick dog,

and evil like a red-skinned devil.

I choose what I do

and how I want to reveal myself.

Good things have luxurious rewards,

bad things have nasty ramifications.

It’s all on me to choose

the avenues I drive on.

It’s all on me to pick

the prizes I want to earn.
