The Choice

The Choice

A Poem by Amanda

I took a step back today,

Looked at everything around me.

I realized everyone would be okay,

If I was the one they would never again see.

I felt sad for a second,

Then took a step towards the door.

The world outside beckoned,

Said I shouldn’t cry anymore.

I looked back at everyone,

Then took another step to leave.

They were all having so much fun,

Why would they ever stop to grieve?

Though some I called friends,

For accepting the scars,

Every good thing comes to an end,

Everything but the stars.

I was seconds away,

From sealing the choice.

I took a step back today,

When you saw me and made sure I could hear your voice.
