Tough Choices

by Miss E

To be or not to be

A puppet on a string?

To be or not to be

A free human being?

Shoud I let myself be

Strung along mindlessly,

Or should I fight to keep

My own independency?

Once you show

You're no sheep,

Expect the wolves

On your doorstep.

If you do decide

To blindly follow,

You might as well

Gave up your humanity.

Let others and the author know if you liked it

Liked it alot?
