Choice?

Choice?

A Poem by Chris Cariad

I choose to be hated, instead of loved. 

To be rejected, instead of accepted. 

Individuality, 

Rather than being a part of the crowd. 

I choose to be me, instead of a lie. 

To be real

Instead of fake. 

I choose pain

Instead of joy. 


I choose it! 


As you probably notice, 

These choices no man would 

Like to have thrust upon them.  

If it was up to me 

I'd be different, 

Away from all the hate and disgrace

That my stigmas have provided.   

Make a world where all 

Are loved and accepted 

For their differences in opinion 

And values. 

A world free to choose. 


A world that is free to be.
