so they put my choices
on the line
and put an arrow to my head
telling me to choose my fate.
there's one option
that promises security and riches
along with a lifetime
behind a desk
and a sadness
that never seems to uplift
and the other
is risky
the other
offers excitement
and pain
and long hours
and learning
and gore
and glory
but only to a fraction
of those who dare
to pick it up
and leaves the rest
penniless
so do i choose the easy way out
or the one that will light a fire in me?
