Poetry: The cost of choice

It is often hard to choose,
and to make a choice, a decision,
but unless we do so,
we are usually left, in a division.
Decisions can make, or break us.
Our choice creates a new us too.
We must buckle down to choose,
otherwise, we will usually just lose.
Every good choice has a cost,
and so does every bad choice.
Weigh up the costs of each decision,
let the costs precision your decision.
A choice can be difficult, or easy.
The easiest one to make is not to make.
The status quo, continuing though, has cost too.
To love each choice, we must choose to love.
A choice should not rile you up with fuss,
and yet it must rile you up in its way.
Every choice will pester you with itself,
until love makes the right choice for you.

Time for change? It is up to you which direction you choose!! Choose love's direction for you. It is always the right decision.

Yes, love, or anything else too, love is always the better choice there too.

Choices are tough mostly.
I seek refuge in comfort zones but circumstances force me to make a choice.
Some have been life-changing. I went for safety.
I went with love too when I could make a difference in others' lives like when I went to be with my mother during her last few years. That gave me great satisfaction that I did what is right.
We need to make crucial decisions all our lives though.
The fulfillment from selfish decisions is fleeting but those made with love last and are fulfilling.

Yes, a choice connected to love allows us to rejoice in that love, and satisfies us, genuinely, not selfishly.
A choice connected to self selfishness, leads us to sorrowfullness in the end.
If we do not fish in love's rockpool, we fill ourselves with fish full of greed, and pride, which swell us up with those types of fish in us then too. We become a swellfish, rather than a wellfish, then.
Yes, those last moments with your mother, you will be glad off for the rest of your life. You followed your heart, and went with the way of love.

@Shiva49 Yes, often the way of our heart presents itself in a situation, but it still takes great courage, and mindpower to go in that direction sometimes, especially when obstacles of the world seem to be stacked up against us going easily in that way.
Often, we just decide to take the easier option instead, saying to ourselves, this way will be ok, the other way, is just too hard for me to pursue. But the way of regret, that comes later, can be so painful for us then too.
We really should always do what is right, and right by our heart.

@innertalks Thanks Steve, I did what is right and went by my heart as I do most times when it comes to crucial choices to be made.
