What if I’d said yes,

At every point of my life.

Every opportunity that came my way,

Taking it up without a moment’s thought.

The answer to every question,

That was ever asked of me.

If I’d given in to life,

Accepting its way of course as my own.

Where would I be now?

I have to wonder,

Would I be Queen with royal subjects,

Would I be a killer my knife dripping with blood?

Would I be a philanthropist giving away all I have,

Would I be the person on the other side of the blade?

What if I’d taken the road more travelled,

Would I end up like everyone else?

Or would my ordinary choices,

Set me apart from everyone else?

Simply because no one is normal,

Simply because I myself am not normal,

Though my choices are…
