The Choice I Have To Make, No Matter What

[julietisrael]

I lay on my sick bed writing this
The doctors say it's a 50-50 chance that I survive
They put in their best expecting the best
Mother, Father and little sister Jamie all by my bedside
Wearing a sorry look and feeling pity for me
Surgery is over and yes, I survived.... But,
Yes, there is a but. I will never walk again, the doctors say..
But yet, I choose to be happy

Source
Grade results are out and I had an F
If It wasn't my fault, then who takes the blame!?
Me? For being sick and skipping classes and going late to classes
Or the lecturer, for not letting me in because I was late.?
And though I have to take summer classes now
To fill in for my excesses, but still....I choose to be happy

We were meant to be together, or so I thought 🤔
He'd told me he'd never leave me
We'd argue, fight and make up with a kiss.
Those words pierced my soul
"We're done, it's over", he said and walked away
Reminiscing the good times we spent together brings tears to my face
But, I choose to be happy

The value of cryptos keep depreciating.
Even Steemit, my first love has deserted me
Giving me a chronic heart attack
My blood pressure rises each time I take a look at coinmarketcap..
It may not be painful to you but I staked a huge sum
And everyday, I watch my earnings go down the drain.
It's painful though, but yet, I choose to be happy.

Happiness is a choice
Life may not always give us what we desire
But it is of no use getting sad over what you cannot change.
No matter what I'm going through
No matter the circumstance,
I'll choose to be happy.
Because otherwise, I'll only cause myself pain
