They say, 

"Life is like a box of chocolates."

The statement is true

You start off happy

But it soon dawns on you

That you will

One day, inevitably 

Have to eat the one

That tastes like toothpaste


You try to forget it

You try to enjoy the good ones while you can

But it is always in the back of your mind

Haunting


But what if you like the one that tastes like toothpaste?

What if you have a different taste in chocolate?

Well, here my friends, is where it gets different

Where choices come into play

Where you have a say in what chocolate you like from the box


Life isn't a box of chocolates

Because you never know what you are going to get

But rather,

Because of the variety of chocolates

Because of the choices you make on the chocolates

Because of the difference in each chocolate


Everyone has a different choice

A different box

Everyone has ones they like

And ones they don't

But everyone should be satisfied 

With their own box at the end

And make the most of the box

For it won't last forever
