No one can control us

We make our own choices

We carve our own path

We live the life we make

We can’t control what happens to us

We can control how we react

We can control what we do with what life gives us

And you can turn something ugly and make it yours

“Bring it on”

You can do hard things

You can push on

You can survive

And live

And see happy days again

You can smile

You can laugh

You can let it roll off your shoulders

You can shrug and say

“So What?”

Just another day

And you choose how you will live today

You choose how you view life

Negative?

Positive?

A choice

I choose life

I choose me

I choose to smile

“grin and bear it”

Sometimes I will cry

Sometimes life will get me down

And I’ll spend the day in bed

But I will get back up

And choose life

I choose life

I choose you
