A Given Choice - Lance King

A stormy day surrounds me,

angry at something somebody said.

I let that energy drive me,

it builds and wells inside me.

I made a choice to ignore the voice,

something I now wish I hadn’t done!

I made a choice to ignore the voice,

and now my trouble has just begun.

Ignoring what I knew in spite,

in infrared, not ultraviolet light.

I let that energy bind me,

I let it build up to blind me.

I made a choice to ignore the voice,

something I now wish I hadn’t done!

I made a choice to ignore the voice,

and now my mind is on the run.

Free will, a lock on the door:

I must find the key once more.

Lies and the pain, a poor decision I made.

A dark night of the soul, allowing my ego.

I must find a way to right this wrong,

now I pray and scream to God

to help me end this wicked game.

I made a choice to ignore the voice,

something I now wish I hadn’t done!

I made a choice to ignore the voice,

and now my mind is on the run.

I made a choice to ignore the voice,

something I now wish I’d, wish I’d never done!

I made a choice to ignore the voice,

and now my mind, my mind is on the run…
