Choices are always so hard to make,

For no matter how small, you can't erase a mistake

You can walk miles forward, but not one step back

Once a wrong choice is made it will cut you no slack

Wouldn’t  life be easier if you could just hit rewind

And leave all the terrible decisions behind

© Molly H., Lynden, WA

The author's comments:

A choice is difficult to make because once you choose something, you can not ever really go back. It can be so easy to make the wrong decision, and almost impossible to retrace your steps
