In life we are given a choice

Either big or small

Simple or complicated

Given a right to choose

It may be called a blessing

But when the choice bears consequence

The blessing turns into a curse

Biggest courage I faced

Was a choice between dream and reality

Do I really have courage to chase after my dream

Do I really have courage to chase after success

Afraid that I will regret at the end of either road

I ran away from the choice

I have read, heard, and talked how living one’s dream

Outweighs chasing after materialistic success

But faced with the choice myself I shrunk

Feeling like a lost child in an amusement park

Vaguely knowing where I am but not knowing what to do

For the first time I realized choosing took immense courage

That free will isn’t to be taken lightly

That abandoning one’s dream took as much as courage

As chasing after one’s dream

I realized neither I nor anybody else had the right

To belittle the choice others have made
