Untruths and Consequences

QuinMonty86 on May 9, 2009

Just a little something to think about.

Fear lurks around every corner-

A simple fact of life-

A matter of choices gone wrong.

“What if”, can not save you now.

Do you or don’t you? Consequences.

Too many things ready to explode-

Life as you know it will be no more-

Teenage actions in an adult body.

When will you grow up and see what you have?

She loves you so much! When will that be enough?

A smile, a wink from another and again, you go.

Now because of thoughtlessness, lives about to change forever.

Four lives changed because of a poor decision-

Who will come out unchanged? No one.

All will be hurt. A choice gone wrong-

Fear is here. Deal with it.

It is so easy to upset the apple acrt with a thoughtless action. We all do it at times. A well written piece.

We can’t change past mistakes but as you point out we can “deal with it” and learn from the experience.

The magnitude of the consequences of one momentary choice cannot be understated. Well done.
