Choices

Sometimes choices are easy,
natural, the only real option
or at least kind of harmless,
no adverse consequences,
a matter of preference.
Sometimes choices are awful
where “none of the above”
resonates. An issue of weighing,
comparing. Sometimes, though,
it’s not really a decision between equals,
sames, appropriate picks.
I well know the pull to take the old
tried-and-true, the comfortable way
but understand sanity, recovery, serenity
mandates another path.
