Big decisions or small decisions. You are the one who makes them.
Physically. Emotionally. Mentally. Financially.
And lastly, Spiritually.
You are the one in the center
You are the fulcrum
You are the flame
You are
Your own Universe
Get up
And choose
For yourself
There are no rights or wrongs
Whatever is best for you
Is really
The answer for you
Just make that choice
For that choice is yours
Only yours
