“The Weight of Choice”
By Ashley O’Hare
One decision
can alter the course of your life.
Yes or no?
Right or left?
Now or later?
Heart or soul?
Right or wrong?
Stay or go?
Alternate realities exist
of a version of yourself
who simply decided
to choose red over blue.
Mundane questions
force you to make decisions
that inevitably lead
to the peak of your story.
Close your eyes and imagine
you allowed yourself to cry in public
rather than wipe the tears away.
Would you look in the mirror the same?
