Important Choices
By Katy Schrodt
(Contact: KatyVBx13@aol.com)

Years of adolescence so quickly come and go,
Many times unappreciated as many of us know,
Numerous unique challenges we blindly come to face,
All in the often failed endeavor to keep up with the pace.

The unruly pace of this world, in which we spend our days,
Making the choices and decisions which identify the ways,
The ways we live our lives and interact with all the rest,
Like the answers to the questions, which determine the outcome of the test.

With everything inside of us, we try to find who we are,
Sometimes going to extreme measures, sometimes going too far,
We attempt to be an individual, always searching for something new,
Trying not to be one of the many and instead one of the few.

So many foreign voices persuading us each day,
Like the best friend caught in the middle not knowing what to say,
Only the few strong willed will prosper in this game we call life,
Using perseverance and self discipline to filter through the strife.
