Write a poem entitled ‘Choices’ or ‘Decisions’**

Decisions

Decision day, it’s time,

Everyone is

Counting on me.

If I go one way, I’ll please a certain

Someone or maybe everyone.

If I go the other way, I’ll be truly happy,

On top of the world,

No-one holding me back, but that certain someone, or maybe everyone will be unhappy. Which way

Should I go?
