As you awake
To begin the day
What choice will
You make to begin
To get underway
The path awaits
You must choose
The path you will take
Whether easy or hard
Just know you will be ok
You make the decision
For the role you will play
Life is a gift
This choice assigned to you
Life has consequences too
You can choose right or wrong
Whatever you choose you must be strong
You may not like your life’s view
If you stay the same that’s up to you too
Assess the conditions that keep you wishing
Know faith without work is a lonely mission
What are you doing in your life when there’s pain
Are you calculating the what and who to blame
Whatever you decide and whatever the name
You must choose to change or remain the same
Circumstances of life you may be born into
Choice is the power that can get you through
Wherever you are even if you’re in pain
Waking up tomorrow you get to choose again
Life is like a seed which you will see the proof
The choices you have made like a plant
That has roots

Llion the Brave Version 2
Her screams diminished as Llion was dragged away from the cell. The stench in the corridor was less but there was still damp, decay, defecation, death. His feet dragged, like a raggedy puppet, the guard either side of him holding him fast. He could feel their individual fingers digging into his scant flesh, leaving their impression on his bones.
