Choose Your Own Adventure (a poem)

Life is full of choices:

A winding path of self-doubt and insecurity
or…
A zigzag trail of self-delusion and arrogance?

Decades of ambivalence and catering to others
or…
Complete independence and isolation?

A chronic need for attention and praise
or…
an inability to accept the fact you do need attention, instead denying any of your needs and forcing yourself to be fine without any praise?

An acceptance and embrace of the chaos and uncertainty of the universe
…or….
A denial of the chaos and uncertainty and a never-ending quest to control your environment?

Life…an adventure right until the very end!.
