You chose Fear over love, Distance over touch. You chose Running and denial, Burning words And breaking hearts. You chose Ordinary over extraordinary, Complacency over disruption, Simplicity over greatness, The mundane over magic. You chose Smallness over expansion, Ease over beauty, Solitude over connection, Comfort over clarity. You chose over, And over, And over. And your choices Challenged me To choose, Too. I chose myself Over you. —Jenan McClain
