Chose

I chose to sit here

I chose to be here

Why would I choose this

Why would I do this?

I chose to be me

I chose to be free

Why would I live this

Why would I survive?

You chose to live life

You chose to live free

Why would you do this

Why would you believe?

You chose to hold on

You chose to keep on

Why would you prevail

Why would you succeed?

I chose to not let go

I chose to hold on tight

Why wouldn't I choose to give up

Why wouldn't I choose to fall deep?

I chose to not wonder

I chose to not be bound

Why wouldn't I be the real me

Why wouldn't I be the free me?

You chose to not murder

You chose to not give in

Why wouldn't you choose to fall

Why wouldn't you choose freedom?

You chose to not conquer

You chose to not battle

Why wouldn't you battle it, why

Why wouldn't you stay here with me?

I get it

It was a losing battle

You were not meant to win

Not meant to survive that long

So I get that you laid down your sword

I get it.
